Stellantis, the parent company of Dodge and Chrysler, on Thursday urged owners of four car models to stop driving them due to defective Takata airbags.
The notice involves Dodge’s Magnum, Charger, Challenger models, along with the Chrysler 300, from model years 2005 to 2010, according to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, a subsidiary of Stellantis.
“Owners or custodians of these vehicles will be contacted directly, advised to stop driving their vehicles, and urged to obtain the necessary service, which continues to be available free of charge at any certified FCA-brand dealer,” the company said in a statement to news outlets on Thursday.
“The longer these particular vehicles remain unrepaired, the greater the risk of an airbag rupture, in event of a crash. Free replacement driver-side airbags have been available for this population since 2015,” the statement added….
