What's wrong, in plain English

Some Jeep Renegade vehicles have incorrect software in the occupant restraint controller, the module that manages airbags and other safety systems. Because of this software error, the module may disable certain passive safety features that are meant to protect you in a crash. If those features are turned off, they cannot do their job, which increases the chance of injury if a crash happens.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The software update is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V287000.
