Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured June 11, 2013, through June 12, 2013. The occupant restraint control module (ORC) has incorrect software installed which may adversely affect air bag deployments in collisions. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and No. 214, "Side Impact Protection."
An air bag that does not deploy, or deploys improperly, may increase the risk of injury.
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. A software error may result in the opposite side airbags deploying from the collision point (a left side impact would deploy the right side airbags and vice versa).
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 AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I GET UP FROM THE SEAT THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN ONCE I SIT BACK DOWN. I SEEMED TO DO IT MORE WHEN THE CAR HAD BEEN IN DIRECT SUN LIGHT. SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT CAME ON THE LIGHT IS RANDOM AND COMES ON AND OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND SERVICE IS SCHEDULED FOR LATER THIS WEEK. *TR
I PURCHASED THIS AUTO ON 8/12/2013. ACCORDING TO THE DODGE WEBSITE THE CAR HAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON IT (SAFETY RECALL N44 / NHTSA 13V-283 REPROGRAM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE). I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON IT AND WAS TOLD "NO." NOW I LEARN THAT NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE AN OPEN RECALL ON IT, BUT ALSO THAT CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED OVER A MONTH BEFORE MY PURCHASE DATE. *TR
