Summary
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Wrangler and Ram 2500, 2019-2020 Ram 1500 and 2020 Jeep Gladiator vehicles. The front seat belt retractors may not lock as intended during a crash.
Remedy
Replace the appropriate seat belt retractor. The seat belt retractor(s) requiring replacement for each vehicle is VIN specific and can be determined by using GRS or VIP as described in the Parts Information section below.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner
in a loaner vehicle if the vehicle must be held overnight.
The front seat belt retractor on about 2,100 of the above vehicles may have been built with an improperly formed wave disc which has reduced internal friction resulting in reduced energy management capability. A seat belt retractor with reduced energy management capability may not perform as expected during a crash, which can increase the potential for injury to the occupant.
Repair
