Air bags, side/windowOct 19, 2015
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured March 29, 2003, to July 3, 2003, and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured May 27, 2003, to May 20, 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 will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag electronic control module and the side impact sensors, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R60.

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.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY FAMILY ON 9/2/13 ON HWY 2 IN LAUREL HILL, FL, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A TWO-LANE ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NANOSECONDS LATER THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I MANAGED TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OFF THE ROAD AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE NARROW SHOULDER. MY WIFE'S KNEE WAS HURT PRETTY BADLY AS THE DASH OPENED UP AND HIT HER KNEE WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED TEARING THE SKIN OFF HER LEFT KNEE AND BRUISING BOTH THE KNEE AND SURROUNDING TISSUE AND THE INNER PORTION OF HER RIGHT KNEE AS WELL. HER INJURY DID NOT REQUIRE ANY HOSPITALIZATION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I READ ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (M35) THAT AFFECTED MY YEAR MODEL AND MAKE. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THOUGH OUR EXPERIENCE SEEMED TO MATCH UP WITH THE RECALL. THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING AN INSPECTION AND THE CASE REMAINS OPEN. *JS
