Chrysler Recalls More than 178,000 Minivans over Airbag Defect
Chrysler says about 30% of the recalled vehicles may have defective airbags that could fail to restrain passengers in a crash.

- No injuries or deaths have been associated with this recall, according to the NHTSA; the action expands on two earlier recalls involving similar airbag issues, requiring even previously repaired vehicles to undergo the updated fix.
