JEEP IS recalling thousands of its prized Wrangler model that were sold in Australia.
The mass recall comes after revelations the vehicle has significant defects which could endanger the lives of passengers and the driver. The model being recalled is the 2016-2017 JK Wrangler. What are the defects? The front impact sensor wire(s) on these specified models may become detached during a crash event before the "impact signal" is recorded by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Vehicles may experience no airbag and or pretensioner deployment in certain crash events where airbag or pretensioner deployment is expected. What are the hazards? Failure to deploy the airbags or pretensioners when required during a crash event could increase the risk of injury or death to front seat occupants. What should consumers do? FCA Australia will notify vehicle owners who can take their vehicle to a Jeep dealership where the vehicle will be repaired free of charge. http://www.productsafety.gov.au/reca...-jeep-wrangler
