Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built through May 20, 2004 (MDH 052012).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to stop sale and complete this recall service on these
vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on
vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The front shoulder belt adjuster turning loop bolts on about 12,000 of the above vehicles may not have been properly tightened. This could cause
shoulder belt separation in certain crash conditions, which can increase the risk of injury to front seat occupants.
Repair
The shoulder belt adjuster turning loop bolts must be tightened to the proper specification.
Parts Information
