Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Protect Occupant Safety
NHTSA’s two Air Bag recalls involve safety concerns that should not be postponed. On certain 2016 Dodge Viper vehicles, pinched wires may keep the driver's frontal air bag from deploying properly when needed, increasing injury risk in a crash. Another defect may allow the passenger air bag door to detach during deployment, also increasing the risk of injury. Because air bags are critical restraint-system components, waiting to confirm recall status can leave a potential safety issue unresolved. A VIN check identifies whether either remedy applies to your Viper, and an authorized dealer can complete the manufacturer-specified repair free of charge.
