Chrysler Group is voluntarily recalling more than 180,000 SUVs globally for a problem with a component that manages restraint-system deployment — a similar issue that prompted Ford to recall more than 850,000 units last month.

On Tuesday, Chrysler estimated that 184,215 vehicles are included in its campaign, including 126,772 U.S.-market vehicles. An estimated 8,106 are in Canada, 3,722 are in Mexico and 45,615 are outside the NAFTA region, according to the automaker.

The OEM explained occupant restraint control (ORC) modules in certain 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs may exhibit internal electrical short-circuits.

“This condition may cause air-bag warning lamps to illuminate, a signal that supplemental restraint systems such as air bags and seat-belt pretensioners may be disabled,” officials said.

“Chrysler Group is unaware of any related injuries or accidents,” they added.

Officials went on mention the component supplier advised Chrysler of the issue. They noted additional investigation by Chrysler engineers resulted in this recall.

“Some model-year 2014 vehicles are affected; others are not,” the company said. “All affected customers will be advised by Chrysler Group when they may schedule service, which involves ORC module replacement.

“In the interim, customers are advised to use their seatbelts, as always. Seat belts comprise a vehicle’s primary restraint system,” the OEM went on to say.

Customers with questions can call Chrysler’s Customer Information Center at (800) 853-1403.

Late last month, Ford announced that the automaker is recalling 850,050 vehicles in the U.S., Canada and Mexico because of a similar issue.
