Jeep, Ram and Chrysler vehicles: driver airbag may not deploy

NHTSA campaign 24V199000 · Reported 2024-03-14 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis)

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious, though the notice does not say to stop driving: the vehicle drives normally, but the driver's airbag may not protect you in a crash, so schedule the inspection soon.

What's wrong, in plain English

A part in the steering column may not have been welded correctly at the factory. That part carries the electrical signal to the driver's airbag in the steering wheel. If the weld is bad, the airbag may not inflate during a crash, so the driver would not get the protection it is supposed to give. A dealer will check the part and replace it if needed at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is covered (recall numbers 14B, 33B, 34B, 35B, 36B).
2. Call your dealer or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to book the inspection.
3. Have the steering column control module inspected and replaced if necessary. It is free.
