What is wrong

As a result, increased force may be required in order to stop the power liftgate during final closing stages.

The risk

The power liftgate door may close on an appendage, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right side liftgate pinch sensors, free of charge. The safety recall began on may 18, 2012. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-[removed].
