These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Manufacturer remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

SHE DID NOT DENY THIS, BUT ALSO TOLD ME IF I WENT OUT AND HAD THE REPAIRED DONE NOW THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. I THINK THIS IF ALL UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO PUT PASSENGERS IN IT. I ALSO ASKED IF COULD USE ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THEIR COST TILL MIND IS REPAIRED. THEIR ANSWER WAS NO.. I THINK I WAITED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THIS REPAIR AND THINK IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR GIVE ME A VEHICLE TILL IT IS REPAIRED.
