What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring and 200 vehicles, 2011-2013 Dodge Avenger vehicles, 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro vehicles, and 2011-2012 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured during specific date ranges in 2011 and 2012. The recalled vehicles may have a defect in the occupant restraint control module where electrical stress on a resistor could prevent the active head restraints from deploying during a rear impact collision, increasing the risk of injury.

Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which began on November 19, 2013. To remedy the problem, dealers will reprogram the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) or replace the occupant restraint control module at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753 and reference recall campaign number N38 to have their vehicle serviced.
