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.

Chrysler Canada has determined that an opportunity to incrementally improve performance in certain types of low-speed impacts may exist in certain vehicles. The company will carry out a voluntary customer satisfaction campaign to offer a structural improvement to mitigate the risks of fuel leakage in certain low-speed collisions. Chrysler will inspect the affected vehicles and install a Chrysler trailer hitch if appropriate. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

On certain vehicles, the front upper ball joints may experience a loss of lubrication which can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and possible separation.  Ball joint separation could cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash, resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the front suspension upper control arm assemblies.

On certain vehicles, the front lower ball joints may become contaminated.  With continued operation, the contamination can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear, and possibly separation from the steering knuckle, causing a loss of vehicle steering control and a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the front lower ball joints.
