Recall Summary:
Chrysler (fca us LLC) is recalling certain model year 2002-2003 Jeep liberty vehicles manufactured January 9, 2001, to March 28, 2003, 2002-2004 Jeep grand cherokee vehicles manufactured February 13, 2001, to may 23 2003, and 2003-2004 Dodge viper vehicles manufactured November 1, 2001, to June 30, 2004. Due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the air bag electronic control module (ecm), a component in the ecm may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
How to Fix:
Chrysler dealers will replace the air bag control module and side impact sensors as required, free of charge. These parts are not currently available, however, an interim repair is available free of charge that reduces the risk of an inadvertent deployment. This recall remedy was applied during earlier recall campaigns of these vehicles under safety recalls 12v527 and 13v040. All owners that have not had the recall repair performed under safety recalls 12v527 or 13v040 are strongly encouraged to have it performed and not wait for the final remedy to be deployed to the field. The recall began on December 29, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is r06.
