NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2013 Chrysler 200 has 2 recalls, both involving the occupant restraint controller, a module that can fail and disable the frontal and side airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and active headrests in a crash.
In the first issue, a short circuit in the restraint controller can prevent all frontal and side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from firing when needed, leaving occupants without their primary crash protection. The second issue involves the same controller failing to trigger the active headrests during a rear-end collision, which can increase the risk of neck injury to front seat occupants.
