Jeep Wrangler 2017 Air Bag Recall: Front Impact Sensor Wiring Issue
Chrysler recalls 2016-2017 Jeep Wrangler vehicles with potential front air bag failure in crashes due to wiring issues. Owners must have wiring repaired by dealers to prevent injury.
Use caution until it’s fixed
If the ORC module does not receive a signal from the front impact sensor, both frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What happened, in plain English
Chrysler is recalling certain 2016-2017 Jeep Wrangler vehicles because the front impact sensor wiring can detach during crashes, preventing air bags and seat belt pretensioners from deploying.
