What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where seat strikers may fail in a crash, leading to inadequate occupant restraint and increased injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles. The recall addresses potential failures in the welds on the outboard rear seat strikers for the second row bench and bucket seats during a front impact crash. Additionally, the front outboard seat strikers for the third row bench seats may fail in a rear impact crash, and the second row seats may not withstand required loads.

If the seat strikers fail, the seat or seat belt may not adequately restrain the occupant, which increases the risk of injury. The recall affects 30,354 vehicles.

Dealers will weld in a striker reinforcement bracket on the second and third row outboard seat strikers free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2019. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
