Washington, DCChrysler Group LLC is recalling about 65,180 Dodge vehicles manufactured between November 1, 2007 and September 7, 2008. The wires within the front door wire harness may fatigue and break, which can interrupt the circuits for the side impact sensors, resulting in an airbag warning lamp illumination and loss of side crash sensing capability.
In the event of a crash the side airbag may not deploy, reducing the protection intended for the occupants and increasing the risk for injury.
Chrysler will notify owners and repair as necessary free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during February 2011.
