Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2002-2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured January 9, 2001, to March 28, 2003, 2002-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 13, 2001, to May 23 2003, and 2003-2004 Dodge Viper vehicles manufactured November 1, 2001, to June 30, 2004. Due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the air bag electronic control module (ECM), a component in the ECM may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Chrysler dealers will replace the air bag control module and side impact sensors as required, free of charge. This recall remedy was applied during earlier recall campaigns of these vehicles under safety recalls 12V527 and 13V040. All owners that have not had the recall repair performed under safety recalls 12V527 or 13V040 are strongly encouraged to have it performed and not wait for the final remedy to be deployed to the field. The recall began on December 29, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R06.

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2002 and 2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured January 9, 2001, through March 28, 2003, and 2002 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 13, 2001, through May 23, 2003. A component in the air bag control module may fail causing the front airbags, side curtain airbags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Inadvertent deployment of the airbags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a supplemental jumper harness to the airbag control module, free of charge. Owners were notified of the recall by interim letter in January 2013. The remedy for affected Liberty vehicles is expected to be available in April 2013. The remedy for affected Grand Cherokee vehicles is expected to be available later in the year. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753.

THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL 12V527000. 10 MONTHS LATER, THERE IS NO FIX FROM CHRYSLER. WE LIVE IN A SAFETY INSPECTION STATE. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. OUR PAST SAFETY INSPECTION EXPIRED 8/31/13. NOTE THAT IN OUR STATE, THE SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER IS MUCH LARGER THAN THE REGISTRATION STICKER. IT'S EASIER FOR THE POLICE TO DETECT EXPIRED SAFETY THAN EXPIRED REGISTRATION. WE CANNOT LEGALLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW & EVERY CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY I'VE CALLED TELLS ME WE HAVE NO RECOURSE. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT EVEN BE SOLD HERE, EXCEPT FOR PARTS!!!! WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DRIVE WHILE CHRYSLER FIGURES OUT HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASSIGN THE B TEAM TO THIS PROBLEM PART-TIME - AS LONG AS THEY SAY THEY'RE WORKING ON IT, WHO CARES IF A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STUCK WITH LONG-TERM ILLEGAL VEHICLES. THIS IS ONE HECK OF A WAY TO TREAT CUSTOMERS, AND THERE MUST BE SOME **QUICK** AVENUE OF REDRESS FOR US, BECAUSE WE NEED A CAR NOW.
