Recall of Dodge and Chrysler Sedans Due to Airbag Inflator DefectRoughly 285,000 Dodge and Chrysler sedans have been recalled because certain air bag inflators can explode and hurl shrapnel at drivers and passengers. Stellantis, the company that owns Dodge and Chrysler, said the recall involves side air bag inflators on certain models of 2018-2021 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s. According to Stellantis, a manufacturing defect means moisture may get into the inflators and cause corrosion and cracks. This can cause the airbags to inflate even without a crash if temperatures inside the car get too high. Stellantis investigated five cases in which the airbags inflated while the vehicles were parked when the inside temperature was above 120 degrees. No injuries have been reported. Owners won’t be notified until May 3.
