Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

  • Seat belts fail to retract or lock, sometimes at the driver or passenger position, leaving the belt loose or stuck extended.
  • Airbag warning light illuminates intermittently or continuously, which owners say disables the seat belt tensioners along with airbag function.
  • Owners report the occupant restraint control (ORC) module triggers false faults tied to recall 14V643000, but some vehicles were told they were excluded from the campaign despite showing the same symptoms.
  • The plastic shoulder belt guide on the B-pillar cracks on the driver or passenger side, preventing the belt from retracting fully.
  • Some owners describe waiting extended periods for recall parts to become available before the seat belt tensioner or ORC module could be replaced.

    Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured June 2, 2013, to June 28, 2014, and 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured October 30, 2012, to April 30, 2014. Due to a fault within the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module, the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags may be disabled. The malfunction indicator light “MIL” should illuminate to initially warn drivers of a failure.

    Risk: If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates use of the passive restraint system.

    Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ORC module, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P67.
