| Description |
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured June 29, 2007, to June 17, 2010, and 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured January 26, 2007, to June 17, 2010. Road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. |
| Consequences |
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. |
| Corrective action |
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began on May 26, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R03. Note: This is an expansion of recall 11V-139. |
| 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.safercar.gov. |

Bought the SXT Grand Caravan in July and had it modified for handicap use. It's been very reliable and fun to drive. Wanted the 4.0l, but couldn't find one on any lot. Got the 3.8l w/6 speed. Still decent mileage (17-23) and plenty of power. Now have 10K miles and no problems.

I want to purchase a 2009 Grand Caravan this week. The vuhicle only has 56,000 k/s on it. I asked about the warranty? They want to only give me the power train warranty. What do I need to do to cover myself about the brake and wiring recalls?

2009 built very very cheap ( due to cost saving ) with many irritating problems, no help from dealer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it - except we've had a problem with the doors since the day we bought it. It just doesn't happen consistently. Hopefully this recall will take care of it and we will love our van even more!
