The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 284,982 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dodge vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 47 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V280000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 574 complaints with NHTSA, 349 of them before this campaign was filed. 152 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V516000 (visibility), 20V512000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) with NHTSA on March 14, 2024 as campaign 24V198000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
