The Urgent Directive
Park the car.
Stellantis, the automotive powerhouse overseeing the Chrysler and Dodge brands, has issued a decisive mandate that carries the weight of a critical field report: do not drive these vehicles until they are rendered safe.
Safety is non-negotiable.
The directive targets approximately 225,000 vehicles across the United States, spanning models manufactured between 2003 and 2016, specifically those equipped with volatile Takata airbag inflators that have yet to be replaced.
Decades of Degradation
The propellant is failing.
Scientific analysis confirms that the chemical compound responsible for deploying the life-saving cushions can deteriorate over time, particularly when subjected to the relentless stress of high humidity and extreme thermal cycles found in southern climates.
Fragments become shrapnel.
When these compromised inflators rupture during a collision, they can propel jagged metal shards directly into the cabin, transforming a standard safety feature into a profound hazard for the driver and passengers alike.
The Path to Resolution
The solution is free.
Stellantis has demonstrated remarkable industrial resolve by successfully repairing over 6.6 million vehicles during the last decade, and they are now intensifying their outreach to ensure the remaining fraction of affected owners receives the same protection.
Check your status now.
Drivers can immediately secure their peace of mind by entering their Vehicle Identification Number at official portals like recalls.mopar.com or nhtsa.gov/recalls, or by contacting the dedicated support line at 833-585-0144 to schedule a complimentary repair.
Repair restores confidence.
This massive logistical effort reflects a commitment to human life that transcends the mechanics of the road, offering a clear and optimistic trajectory toward a future where every journey is defined by security rather than risk.
