Chrysler is recalling 2008-2012 Jeep Wrangler right-hand drive vehicles because a broken airbag circuit may prevent the driver-side airbag from deploying in a crash.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (airbag) that may fail to deploy, increasing the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Jeep Wrangler right-hand drive vehicles manufactured between February 1, 2007, and October 10, 2011. The recall involves approximately 5,440 vehicles that have airbag clockspring assemblies which could experience broken airbag circuits.
In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver-side frontal airbag. This failure means the airbag will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clockspring and add a steering wheel dust shield, free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. This recall supersedes NHTSA recall 11V-528.
