Defect

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and RAM C/V Tradesman vehicles manufactured May 10, 2012, through June 7, 2013.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupant Safety

NHTSA’s Electrical System recall describes a software error that could cause the opposite-side airbags to deploy during a side-impact crash, potentially leaving the impact area without airbag protection and increasing injury risk. The Air Bags recall involves certain cargo vans in which potholes or similar road hazards could trigger unexpected deployment of the front passenger-side curtain and/or seat airbags, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. These concerns involve the vehicle’s restraint systems, so waiting can leave a potential safety issue unresolved. A VIN check identifies whether either recall applies and helps determine the correct manufacturer remedy.
