Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator front seat belts may fail

NHTSA campaign 22V766000 · Reported 2022-10-13 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious in a crash because you may not be held as tightly as designed, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving or park outside, so the vehicle can be driven while you arrange the repair.

What's wrong, in plain English

The front seat belts in these vehicles have a small part inside the belt reel that yanks the belt tight the instant a crash begins. On some vehicles that part was welded incorrectly at the factory, so the tightener may not work. The belt would still latch and hold you, but it would not pull snug the way it is designed to, so you could move farther forward in a crash. Dealers will replace the front belt reels.

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is covered by recall Z95.
2. Call your Chrysler, Jeep or Ram dealer for an appointment, or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
