Stellantis to recall over 419,000 US vehicles over improper side air bag deployment
Details of the Stellantis Vehicle Recall
Reason for the Recall
May 29 (Reuters) - Chrysler-parent Stellantis is recalling 419,035 vehicles in the U.S. as a software error could delay the side air bags from deploying during a crash, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.
Compliance with Safety Standards
This would leave the vehicles non-compliant with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, NHTSA added.
Affected Models
The recall affects models including the 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2023-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, the auto regulator said.
Remedy and Next Steps
Dealer Actions
Dealers will update the occupant restraint controller module software free of charge, NHTSA said.
