The 2016 Dodge Viper has two recalls, both involving the frontal airbag system: the passenger airbag door can detach during deployment and become a projectile in the cabin, and the driver's airbag wiring can be pinched and cause the airbag to fail in a crash.
On the passenger side, a faulty weld on the airbag chute means the door panel covering the airbag can break free when the bag fires, sending it into the cabin rather than folding out of the way. On the driver's side, wiring routed to the frontal airbag can get pinched during assembly, which may prevent the bag from deploying at all when it is needed most.
