SAFETY RECALL L01 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MODULE
MODELS:
2008 (RT) Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country
^ The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module on about 50,000 of the above vehicles may have been contaminated by water leaking from the Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) drain grommet. Water in the ORC module could cause the illumination of the airbag warning light and/or a potential inadvertent airbag deployment without warning.
^ To correct this condition, the original ORC module must be interrogated using a wiTECH scan tool to determine which replacement ORC module to install. Once the correct replacement ORC module has been determined, the original ORC module must be replaced.
NOTE:
All vehicles involved in this recall are also involved in Safety Recall K25. If not previously performed, Safety Recall K25 must also be performed at this time.
WARNING:
Failure to perform Safety Recall K25, if required, could allow water from the HVAC unit to contaminate the new ORC module. Do not complete Recall L01 without verifying on the VIP system that Safety Recall K25 has also been performed.
