What's wrong, in plain English
The right and left side curtain airbags in these vehicles may rupture. This happens because of a defect in the way the airbag inflator was manufactured. If the inflator ruptures, it can send sharp pieces of metal flying inside the vehicle's cabin. Those metal fragments could strike the driver or any passengers riding inside, and this could result in injury or even death to the people in the vehicle.
What you should do
2. Contact a Chrysler or Dodge dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair (replacing both side curtain airbags) is free.
