## What is wrong

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Town \& Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and RAM C/V Tradesman vehicles manufactured May 10, 2012, through June 7, 2013.  A software error may result in the opposite side airbags deploying from the collision point \(a left side impact would deploy the right side airbags and vice versa\).


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, the wrong side airbags could deploy leaving the occupant with no airbag protection at the point of impact, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will flash the occupant restraint control module, free of charge.  The recall began during September 2013.  Owners may contact Chrysler at 1\-800\-247\-9753.  Chrysler's recall campaign number is N44.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
