Air bags: frontal: passenger side: inflator module
- What is wrong
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2010 Dodge Ram 3500, Ram 4500/5500, 2010-2011 Dodge Dakota, 2010-2014 Dodge Challenger, 2010-2015 Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300, and 2010-2016 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to explode.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could explode with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V01.

Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

The brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond, causing the vehicle to crash into a tree. There was no warning light illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a bump and soreness on the left knee, and soreness in the neck. The contact received chiropractic assistance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was a towed to a tow yard, where it was totaled. The local dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
My wife was in an accident where she was hit in the driver's side at her door, rear passenger door and front fender while turning left at an intersection. Impact was 35-40 MPH. Not one airbag deployed. She hit her head and shoulder on window causing severe pain to her head,neck and collar bone, and we want to know why the airbags did not deploy. We feel this may have caused more problems from her impact. I'm sure we paid for this feature in the car and want to know why they didn't work.

On monday morning december 23rd approximately 4:15 am. On a rainy weather condition, I was driving on the 91 eastbound freeway going about 60 MPH, I was on the 3rd middle lane, near green river road, all of a sudden my steering wheel felt as if it locked on me, my car started to veer to the left and I couldn't break or release the steering wheel, I knew I had lost control at this point, bracing myself, I hit the head on the center divider, I spun out of control ended by hitting the rail on the right shoulder, full impact. My bags did not deploy, I have a chest contusion as a result of me hitting the steering wheel full force and compression fracture on my thoracic vertebra number 7 as confirmed by the ct body scan/x-ray from the er. Please, someone needs to help me out here.*dt
My chrysler dealer is slow in dealing with two recalls. One year waiting for air bag recall solution and now I'm told "no parts" for emission canister recall. Why the delay at this terrible service center?

Takata recall the airbag warning comes on intermittently. Our chrysler center says it cannot be fixed. We don't like that answer !
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 300. While driving 7 MPH, the contact pulled the vehicle into a driveway and was struck in the rear by another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained soft tissue injuries to neck, back, and shoulders as well as whiplash that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent body shop, but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer (northland chrysler jeep dodge ram, 14100 w 8 mile rd, oak park, mi 48237 (248) 398-8200) was contacted and did not offer a diagnosis for the air bags. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,000. *bf
I purchased a 2015 chrysler 300 in may of 2015 brand new; on april 18,2016 I swerved to keep from hitting a deer in which the vehicle rolled over twice. I contacted chrysler about the concern of the airbags not imploding. The vehicle has been classified as 'totaled.' I knew before I had even contacted the manufacturer, that they would use the sensors as not having any problems. I think that chrysler should at least offer me some type of compensation for what this vehicle cost; a life could have been lost (something that you can't replace) don't you agree that some type of compensation should be given?
