Summary

The Braun Corporation "Braun" is recalling certain 2023-2024 Chrysler Voyager vehicles, equipped with certain GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats. The recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Consequence

The seat back could release when force is applied to the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and repair the seat as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 3, 2024. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
