Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 21 Mopar Occupant Restraint Controller Modules due to a software error that can disable critical safety features. This error may prevent the driver's side airbag and seat belt pretensioner from activating during a crash and can also disable the vehicle's electronic stability control system. Chrysler is offering a free software update for modules already installed in vehicles or a repurchase of any uninstalled modules.
A disabled electronic stability control system significantly increases the likelihood of a vehicle crash. If a crash occurs, the failure of the driver's side airbag or seat belt pretensioner to deploy leaves the driver without essential protection, increasing the risk of serious injury.
You have 2 options:
Software update for installed modules
Repurchase of uninstalled modules
The equipment fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208 (Occupant Crash Protection) and 126 (Electronic Stability Control Systems).
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
