Chrysler (FCA US or Stellantis) is recalling ~285,000 2018-2021 model year Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles. Chrysler is also recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram ProMaster vehicles, according to documents released this morning by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.*
The Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 is potentially more urgent because the right and left side curtain air bag inflators made by Joyson Safety Systems may rupture due to a manufacturing defect. The sudden rupture of the inflator due to stress cracking from moisture could send shrapnel into the interior, potentially causing serious injuries.
Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC’s number for this recall is 19B. Owners can also contact NHTSA about NHTSA Campaign Number 24V198. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline is at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Chrysler as stated is also recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram ProMaster vehicles. The wiring harness may have a poor connection, which can cause the left taillight and left turn signal to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”
An unspecified remedy is under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed 3 May 3, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 about recall is 21B.
