Recall Alert: 2009 Dodge Journey

On some vehicles, the wires in the front door harnesses may weaken and break over time. If this happens, the side airbag sensors may fail and the airbags may not go off in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Chrysler says there have been no reports of crashes, fires or injuries resulting from this issue. If your Journey is experiencing airbag failure, a warning lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster.

Chrysler will notify affected owners beginning in February 2011. Dealerships will replace the left- and right-door wiring harnesses free of charge.

For more info, owners may call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
