Summary
On certain vehicles, moisture ingress into door switches could cause them to open unexpectedly at low speeds.

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.
