Chrysler is recalling certain Model Year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufacturer from November 1st, 2007, through September 7th, 2008. The wires within the front door wire harnesses may fatigue and break, which can interrupt the circuits for the side impact sensor(s), resulting in an airbag warning lamp illumination and loss of side crash sensing capability.
Consequence: In the event of a crash, the side airbag may not deploy, reducing the protection intended for the occupant and increasing the risk of injuries.
