Vehicles Affected: Approximately 209,000 model-year 2011-12 Dodge Grand Caravan minivans
The Problem: The driver’s frontal airbag may unexpectedly deploy if the airbag wiring harness gets chafed within the steering wheel and short circuits, increasing the risk of a crash or an injury to the driver.
Dodge manufacturer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said that it is aware of eight “potentially related minor injuries,” but no accidents.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the airbag wiring within the steering wheel and replace it as necessary. FCA said dealers also will equip the wiring with additional protective covering.
