The 2005 Chrysler 300 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the frontal airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides, which can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin.
The seatbelt and structural recalls round out the list, both affecting how well occupants are held in a crash. On the restraint side, the bolt securing the front shoulder belt's height-adjustment bracket may not have been tightened fully during assembly, which means the anchor point can shift or give way during a collision, leaving front seat occupants without proper belt support. On the structural side, a spot weld on the rear floor pan reinforcement may have been skipped entirely, which weakens the mounting points for the rear seatbelt anchors and the child seat anchors. In a crash, those anchors can pull free from the floor, greatly reducing the protection offered to rear passengers and any child seats installed there.
