Stellantis issues 'Do Not Drive' alert for 225,000 older US vehicles
- On Wednesday, Feb. 11, Stellantis issued a 'do not drive' warning for roughly 225,000 unrepaired vehicles with Takata air bag recalls, NHTSA said.
- NHTSA notes propellant degradation in certain Takata inflators increases rupture risk, and the agency has documented 28 deaths and at least 400 injuries from exploding Takata air bags.
- The directive covers model years 2003–2016 across Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram lines, and owners can verify recall status online or by calling 833-585-0144 for free repairs.
- Stellantis says it has spent a decade repairing more than 6.6 million Takata inflators and will repair affected vehicles free of charge, while Frank Matyok confirmed the stop-drive directive protects families and the general public.
- NHTSA urged affected customers to contact local dealerships to schedule a free repair as soon as possible and verify recall status by calling 833-585-0144 or visiting recalls.mopar.com, checktoprotect.org, or nhtsa.gov/recalls.
