What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured March 16, 2016, to March 17, 2016. The nuts on the third row seatbacks were incorrectly torqued and may become loose.
Why it is dangerous
If the third row seatback becomes loose, it may separate from the seat frame, increasing the risk of injury.
