Dodge Grand Caravan: Airbag

Affects Dodge Grand Caravan · 2008 — about 50K vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles may experience condensate (water) leakage from the Heater Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) drain grommet onto the occupant restraint control module. This could lead to illumination of the airbag warning lamp, and could cause inadvertent airbag deployment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the occupant restraint control module. Note: This campaign follows recall 2010437 (Chrysler K25) where dealers replaced the HVAC drain grommet to correct the cause of the condensate leakage.
