2005–2006 Chrysler Town AND Country & 2005–2006 Dodge Caravan + 1 more recall: airbag

⚠️ What's wrong

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan AND chrysler Town & Country vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kansas, kentucky, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, north dakota, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, south dakota, tennessee, utah, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, alaska AND the district of columbia. The front crash sensors may crack under certain environmental conditions AND allow water to enter into the sensor. This CAN cause the sensor to become inoperative AND illuminate the airbag warning light. These sensors were added to enhance the performance of the airbag system in certain frontal crashes.

💥 The risk

If the front crash sensors become inoperative, the driver is immediately alerted by illumination of the airbag warning light AND the vehicle should be promptly serviced. Until the vehicle is repaired, the airbags may not provide the enhanced protection in the event of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Chrysler will replace the front airbag sensors with a new design. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety improvement campaign will begin during june 2010. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
