CHRYSLER Sebring, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Patriot (2009–2014)
What the hazard is
The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash.
What to do
FCA Australia will notify vehicle owners who can take their vehicle to a Chrysler Jeep Dodge service centre who will carry out the repair at no cost to the customer. The dealer will inspect the Occupant Restraint Controller and determine what repair (if necessary) is required.
Defect
The models specified may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) via the front impact sensor wires.
