2012 Chrysler Town AND Country & 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2012 Town AND Country AND dodge Grand Caravan vehicles, manufactured from march 9, 2012 through march 12, 2012. Some vehicles may be equipped with a right side liftgate pinch sensor that does not function properly. As a result, increased force may be required in order to stop the power liftgate during final closing stages.
💥 The risk
The power liftgate door may close on an appendage, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Chrysler will notify owners, AND dealers will inspect AND replace the right side liftgate pinch sensors, free of charge. The safety recall began on may 18, 2012. 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.)
