SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2012 Jeep Liberty and 2012-2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger vehicles. A component within the occupant restraint controller (ORC) may fail and prevent the active headrests from deploying in the event of a rear-end crash.

If the active headrests do not deploy in certain rear-end crashes, the front seat occupants have an increased risk of injury.
