The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (airbag inflator rupture/detachment) that can propel components, posing a significant injury risk, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain Mopar right and left-side Crew Cab, Quad Cab, Mega Cab, and Standard Cab side air bag inflatable curtains (SABIC) sold as replacement parts. The recall affects specific part numbers listed in the associated Part 573 report.
The defect involves the SABIC inflator end cap potentially detaching from the inflator or the inflator sidewall rupturing. If this occurs, compressed gas can escape, propelling the end cap or other components toward a person or into the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury or a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the SABIC assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on October 4, 2021, and final owner notification letters were mailed on May 26, 2022.
