Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep vehicles hit with a major recall

By ,

A total of 25,546 Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles are being recalled by Chrysler Canada because the airbag warning lamp may illuminate due to an electrical fault within the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module.

As a result, the active head restraints may not deploy during a rear impact collision (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of personal injury to the front seat occupants.

Dealers will reprogram the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) or replace the ORC module, as required.

Affected models include:
  • 2011-2013 Chrysler 200 ;
  • 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring;
  • 2011-2013 Dodge Avenger;
  • 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro;
  • 2011-2012 Jeep Liberty
