What happened

Chrysler and Dodge vehicles from model years 2004–2011 and certain Mitsubishi Raiders from 2006–2009 are being recalled due to a defect in the driver's side frontal air bag inflator. The inflator may rupture during a crash because moisture can enter the device over time, potentially sending metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants and causing serious injury or death. The affected vehicles include various Ram trucks, Dodge Durango, Ram 4500/5500, Chrysler Aspen, Chrysler 300 series, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Dakota, and Mitsubishi Raider models.

Chrysler dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator at no cost to owners. Owners should not drive their vehicles until the repair is completed. Chrysler and Dodge owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, while Mitsubishi Raider owners should call 1-888-648-7820. Owners who previously had their driver side air bag replaced will need to have it replaced again under this recall.
