The 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has 3 recalls, the most serious involving conversion van models equipped with VMI/Ricon 6-way power seat bases, where a faulty weld in the seat base can break and injure the occupant.
There is also a recall affecting the front crash sensors, which can corrode and become inoperative in vehicles registered or originally sold in high-humidity or cold-weather states. When this happens, the airbag warning light comes on to alert the driver, but the sensors may no longer be able to trigger the front airbags in a crash.
