The 2006 Dodge Viper has two recalls, both carrying equal severity: one where the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners can deploy without warning, and one where a broken spring in the clutch pedal switch can allow the engine to start without the clutch pressed down.
The airbag concern involves the occupant restraint control module, which can trigger the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners unexpectedly, raising the risk of injury to the driver or passenger and potentially causing a crash. The clutch pedal issue means the vehicle may start while already in gear and lurch forward without warning, also creating a crash risk.
