What's wrong, in plain English

Some Jeep Cherokee vehicles have a problem with the sensors that detect crashes for the airbag system. These sensors may fail, making it harder for the system to properly sense when a crash is happening. If that happens in an actual crash, the airbags may not deploy the way they are supposed to. Airbags that do not deploy correctly may not protect occupants as intended during a collision.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Chrysler dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, to have the sensors replaced.
3. The repair 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 19V449000.
