Fiat Chrysler learned of the problem in November 2023 and testing confirmed certain components had faulty welds.
The airbag won’t deploy if the deployment signal from the occupant restraint controller fails to reach the driver airbag module.
A driver should pay attention if an airbag warning light illuminates.
Chrysler plans to mail recall letters May 3, 2024, and dealers will inspect and possibly replace the steering column control modules.
Owners may contact FCA at 800-853-1403.
Chrysler is using five recall numbers: 14B, 33B, 34B, 35B and 36B.
In addition to the recalled vehicles, about 11,000 MOPAR steering column control modules are recalled. The modules were used as replacement parts in certain 2017-2024 Jeep, Chrysler and Ram vehicles.
Dealers will inspect and replace or repurchase the steering column control modules.
The MOPAR steering column control module recall is 15B.
