Recalls for 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T
2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN
NHTSA Campaign ID: 13V291000
Component: AIR BAGS
Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC
Manufacture Dates: 06/11/2013 - 06/12/2013
Potential Units Affected: 184
Defect Description:
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured June 11, 2013, through June 12, 2013. The occupant restraint control module (ORC) has incorrect software installed which may adversely affect air bag deployments in collisions. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and No. 214, "Side Impact Protection."
Consequence:
An air bag that does not deploy, or deploys improperly, may increase the risk of injury.
Action to take:
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ORC module, free of charge. The recall began on October 3, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N48.

Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC
Manufacture Dates: 05/10/2012 - 06/07/2013

Defect Description:
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and RAM C/V Tradesman vehicles manufactured May 10, 2012, through June 7, 2013. A software error may result in the opposite side airbags deploying from the collision point (a left side impact would deploy the right side airbags and vice versa).
Consequence:
In the event of a crash, the wrong side airbags could deploy leaving the occupant with no airbag protection at the point of impact, increasing the risk of injury.
Action to take:
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will flash the occupant restraint control module, free of charge. The recall began during September 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N44.
