The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2010 Dodge caliber vehicles. Some vehicles May have been built with an incorrect door lock rod in the right front door.
The risk
An unlatched door could increase the risk of an unbelted front seat passenger being ejected from the vehicle.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the front right door lock rod as required free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during June 2010. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
