Dodge Journey: Airbag

Affects Dodge Journey · 2009 — about 17K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, wires within the front door wire harnesses may fatigue and break, which can interrupt the circuits for the side impact sensor(s). This may result in an airbag warning lamp illumination and loss of side crash sensing capability. Failure of the lateral airbags to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injuries to the seat occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the wiring harnesses in both front doors.
