A recall has been issued by Chrysler of nearly 286,000 vehicles over a manufacturing defect that might cause the side curtain airbag inflators to rupture causing sharp metal fragments to strike occupants, said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As reported by Reuters, the recall affects some 2018-2021 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300 models.
According to Chrysler, these airbags do not use the same inflation technology as Takata airbags but instead a side air bag inflatable curtain inflator which had moisture introduced during supplier manufacturing.
