Dodge Viper
Model Overview
If ever you're in the market for a truly head-turning car, here's the one. This is as wild as sports cars get. The Viper is basically half engine: a huge V10 is hidden under that long hood and endows the car with breathtaking performance and an intoxicating soundtrack. Early models are notable for their lack of driver safety aids; later versions gained power, but are also more sophisticated.

Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag, side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS control unit and may install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2012378 and 2013046. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
