## What is wrong

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(MMNA\) is recalling certain model year 2001\-2002 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus vehicles, equipped with beige interiors.  The affected vehicles were previously repaired for a recall issue using an incorrect part.  The incorrect part may not prevent the passenger side sun visor from detaching if the passenger frontal air bag deploys and the passenger side sun visor is folded down in a certain position.


## What can happen

If the passenger side sun visor detaches and is propelled rearward, there is an increased risk of occupant injury.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify the affected owners.  Dealers will install the correct tether strap to retain the passenger sun visor, free of charge.  The recall began July 26, 2016, owners will be sent a second email when parts are available.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.


## 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.
