- Summary

- Consequence
- Driving a vehicle with an unlatched door can result in an unbelted front seat occupant falling out of the vehicle or being ejected in a crash, causing increased risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will add a secondary retention feature to both front doors. This action will supersede and expand a previous safety recall (please see 07V-104). The recall began on October 29, 2007. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Has your Chrysler been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
