What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler vehicles may have a steering column control module that wasn't welded correctly. Because of this welding problem, the driver's air bag may not deploy during a crash the way it is supposed to. This affects a range of trucks and SUVs, including the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Gladiator, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Pacifica, and Voyager, meaning the driver may not get the protection the air bag is meant to provide.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact your dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The inspection and any needed replacement of the steering column control module are 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 24V199000.
