Chrysler Recalls 566000 Ram, Durango, Grand Cherokee Models - Car and Driver (blog)
The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango have airbag modules that can short-circuit due to a manufacturing defect on the circuit board. As a result, the front airbags, side airbags and seat belt pretensioners could be disabled. Chrysler said it noticed a higher defect rate for these airbag modules in January and July last year. 5 of this year, Chrysler said, it had received 2558 warranty claims for this airbag issue. A total of 126,722 vehicles are affected in the U. S. Dealers will replace the airbag module starting in December. Most of these same vehicles are affected by a separate recall concerning another circuit board that controls the stability control. On 2010-2014 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks equipped with the 6. 7-liter Cummins diesel, an electrical connector on the fuel heater assembly can overheat. As of September, Chrysler said it had recorded 233 warranty claims for this issue, which was apparently due to corrosion of the tin-plated connector terminals.
