Check your own car by VIN
Recalls apply to specific build ranges, so a recall listed here may or may not cover your particular vehicle. NHTSA's free VIN lookup is the authority: nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.
Issue: On certain cars, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) could malfunction. This could cause the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners to deploy without a crash. Safety Risk: Airbags or seat belt pretensioners that deploy without a crash could create a risk of injury and also increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their cars to a dealer to replace the Occupant Restraint Controller with an updated module.

On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, a defect in the clutch interlock switch could allow the starter to engage without depressing the clutch pedal. If recommended starting procedures are not followed, this could cause unintended vehicle movement, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch interlock switch.
On certain vehicles, moisture ingress into door switches could cause them to open unexpectedly at low speeds. Unexpected opening of the driver and/or passenger door could increase the risk of a crash, resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the door handle assemblies and top covers.

Correction: Dealers will replace the door handle assemblies and top covers.
On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag, side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS control unit and may install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2012378 and 2013046. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign.

On certain SRT model vehicles, the front seat position sensors may have been incorrectly installed. As a result, frontal airbags could deploy with a lower velocity than intended, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will measure the air gap between the seat track position sensor and the seat track detection plate. Seat tracks with an excessive air gap will have a metal shim installed onto the track detection plate.

On certain vehicles, the multifunction switch park lamp contacts may corrode over time, increasing the resistance in the low current circuit. The increase in resistance may cause erroneous communication with the BCM (Body Control Module), possibly causing the park lamps, head lamps, and/or instrument panel lamps to flicker or become inoperative. Correction: Dealer will reprogram the BCM.
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump wiring could become chafed by an underbody heat shield metal edge. This could cause the fuel pump fuse to open and result in an engine-stall condition. Correction: Dealer will install a protective welt to the edge of the heat shield and a braided sleeve over the wiring harness.
Certain passenger vehicles used extensively in track type racing events and subjected to aggressive driving conditions could experience cracks at the welds of the rear differential mounting bracket. The cracks could eventually lead to metal fatigue and dislodging of the differential mounting bracket from the frame of the vehicle. Separation of the differential mounting bracket could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: All affected vehicles will have a field repair kit installed. Vehicles exhibiting cracks will require an additional weld repair prior to installation of the kit.

THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. THE REAR OXYGEN SENSOR WIRING MAY BE REVERSED, WITH THE LEFT SENSOR CONNECTED TO THE RIGHT SIDE WIRING AND VICE-VERSA. AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION, THE CATALYST EFFICIENCY MONITORS ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL, OR MAY EXHIBIT FALSE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS (MIL). CORRECTION: LEFT AND RIGHT REAR OXYGEN SENSOR WIRING WILL BE REVERSED TO RESTORE THE FUNCTION OF THE CATALYST MONITOR.
THE CIRCUIT DESIGN IN THE AIR BAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE MAY ALLOW THE POTENTIAL FOR INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT UPON VEHICLE IGNITION SHUT DOWN. CORRECTION: THE AIR BAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A MODULE THAT INCORPORATES THE LATEST PRODUCTION REDESIGNED CIRCUIT TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION.
