**STELLANTIS: DO NOT DRIVE**

UNREPAIRED TAKATA AIR BAGS

Stellantis (formerly FCA) has issued a “do not drive” warning for all remaining Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles with open and unrepaired Takata air bag recalls. If you have one of these vehicles, do not drive it until the repair is completed and the defective air bag is replaced. Recalls are free at the manufacturer’s dealership.

NHTSA is urging all vehicle owners to immediately visit NHTSA.gov/Recalls to see if their vehicle has an open Takata air bag recall. If it is under recall, owners should contact their dealership to schedule a free repair as soon as possible and not drive the vehicle until it is repaired.
