Chrysler Recall Information. The Occupant Restraint Control OCR module may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying in the event of a crash. If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems. The remedy for this recall is still under development.

There might be a good reason why because Fiat-Chrysler FCA says the chassis fastener joints can fail or fall out and cause problems with steering and handling. Well, that would stink. There are multiple checkpoints in assembly lines meant to avoid situations like this, but here we are anyway. FCA didn't say how many cars were affected, but did say they already notified the limited number of owners as part of a recall. The automaker says it opened an investigation in April after 10 crashes were reported, and after months of research, engineers determined the occupant restraint control modules may short-circuit and prevent the frontal airbags-and-seat-belts, seat belt pre-tensioners and side air bags from deploying in a crash.
