Dodge Viper Recalls
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Summary
Issue: On certain cars, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) could malfunction. This could cause the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners to deploy without a crash. Safety Risk: Airbags or seat belt pretensioners that deploy without a crash could create a risk of injury and also increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their cars to a dealer to replace the Occupant Restraint Controller with an updated module.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, a defect in the clutch interlock switch could allow the starter to engage without depressing the clutch pedal. If recommended starting procedures are not followed, this could cause unintended vehicle movement, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch interlock switch.
Summary
On certain vehicles, moisture ingress into door switches could cause them to open unexpectedly at low speeds. Unexpected opening of the driver and/or passenger door could increase the risk of a crash, resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the door handle assemblies and top covers.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag, side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS control unit and may install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2012378 and 2013046. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
Summary
On certain SRT model vehicles, the front seat position sensors may have been incorrectly installed. As a result, frontal airbags could deploy with a lower velocity than intended, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will measure the air gap between the seat track position sensor and the seat track detection plate. Seat tracks with an excessive air gap will have a metal shim installed onto the track detection plate.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag, side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue.
Summary
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 114 - Locking and Immobilization Systems. The electronic vehicle immobilizer does not passively set as is required by the Standard. Correction: Dealers will replace the body control module.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the multifunction switch park lamp contacts may corrode over time, increasing the resistance in the low current circuit. The increase in resistance may cause erroneous communication with the BCM (Body Control Module), possibly causing the park lamps, head lamps, and/or instrument panel lamps to flicker or become inoperative. Correction: Dealer will reprogram the BCM.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump wiring could become chafed by an underbody heat shield metal edge. This could cause the fuel pump fuse to open and result in an engine-stall condition. Correction: Dealer will install a protective welt to the edge of the heat shield and a braided sleeve over the wiring harness.
