Air bags · Electrical system

NHTSA campaign 13V283000 · reported July 2, 2013 · Chrysler Group LLC · 224,264 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and RAM C/V Tradesman vehicles manufactured May 10, 2012, through June 7, 2013.

The risk
In the event of a crash, the wrong side airbags could deploy leaving the occupant with no airbag protection at the point of impact, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix

Air bags

NHTSA campaign 13V291000 · reported July 2, 2013 · Chrysler Group LLC · 184 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured June 11, 2013, through June 12, 2013.
