Important Things To Know About This Automotive Recall
Trucks are meant to do things like go off road, and play in the mud, but in this case, it could affect your vehicle in a way that can harm all of the occupants inside. This type of driving, or debris striking your vehicle, can cause a fault within the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This little piece of equipment operates the rollover side-curtain airbags and the seat belt pre-tensioner. In the event of a crash or a vehicle rollover, the air bags may not deploy.
This can increase your risks of becoming injured significantly, whether you are the driver, or a passenger, of the vehicle. Ultimately, these injuries could lead to…
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Missing time from work
- Disabilities
- Death
If you, or a loved one, becomes injured in an automotive recall, that is no fault of your own, contact a personal injury attorney to find out your rights. You should not be left with expenses and bodily harm due to the defective or malfunctioning equipment. For many of us, it is hard enough trying to make it from week to week, but when these types of expenses start piling up, trying to pay for necessities can seem nearly impossible.
The Remedy For This Automotive Recall
Chrysler is expected to notify owners about the recall, however, owners can also contact the company’s customer service department for further information. Upon calling, reference the recall number of T25. This will ensure that you get relevant information pertaining to your vehicle. The process is not expected to begin taking place until late June, so staying informed about the situation could keep you safe from harm.
Once owners have been notified, certified dealers will update the software needed for the ORC to function properly, free of charge. This is good news for owners, but in the meantime, they should remain vigilant in their quest to be safe. Avoid the mud pits for a few weeks, and always be aware of your surroundings while driving. You do not have to discontinue use of your vehicle during this time, but if you think your Dodge is affected, take precautionary measures to avoid unwanted personal injuries.
