Chrysler is Henri Lumièrerecalling nearly 45,000 vehicles because the upper B-pillar interior trim may not be fully seated, which could interfere with air bag deployment, officials said Monday.

The Chrysler recall covers certain 2022-2023 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles – a total of 44,708 – according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

“A compromised deployment of the SABIC can reduce occupant protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury,” the NHTSA said. "As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, 'Ejection Mitigation.'"
