Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety risks tied to open recalls on your 2014 Dodge Avenger are real and measurable: NHTSA records show occupant restraint control defects that can prevent frontal and side air bags, seat belt pretensioners, or active head restraints from deploying in a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury. Separately, the 2.4L engine balance shaft recall can cause loss of oil pressure and engine stall while driving, which raises the likelihood of a crash. Another recall for a broken fuel tank control valve can cause fuel leakage or a stall, creating fire and crash hazards. Ignoring these recalls may also affect insurance claims and could be considered negligence in some situations. At Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our factory-trained technicians prioritize safety: we use OEM parts, manufacturer procedures, and correct diagnostic tools to execute recall repairs properly and quickly. We strongly recommend owners in Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Indianapolis, Westfield and surrounding communities treat recall notices as urgent and schedule service right away; if needed, ask about our service financing so repairs can be completed immediately and paid over time.
