Stellantis is recalling nearly 285,000 Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 cars from the 2018 through 2021 model years.The issue is a defective inflator in the cars' side curtain airbags that could cause the airbags to rupture, potentially sending metal fragments into the cabin.The automaker will notify owners of the recall on May 3 and will replace the inflators free of charge.

In the recall report, Stellantis says that the 'suspect inflators' were used between July 2018 and May 2021 and then were no longer used in the cars, based on production records. The automaker said that its analysis of the issue shows the vehicles 'may have had moisture introduced into the inflator during supplier manufacturing that may cause internal corrosion over time and potentially leading to Stress Corrosion Cracking in the inflator.
