Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2005-2006 Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in 29 states plus the District of Columbia. The front crash sensors in these vehicles may crack under certain environmental conditions, allowing water to enter and making the sensor inoperative. When this happens, the airbag warning light illuminates on the dashboard, and the airbags may not provide enhanced protection in a frontal crash.
Chrysler will replace the front airbag sensors with a new design free of charge. The recall campaign began in June 2010. Affected consumers should contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 to arrange service.
