What this recall covers
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Fiat 500L vehicles manufactured April 23, 2015, to May 10, 2015.

- The risk
- In the event of a crash, if the air bag does not inflate as designed, the front seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury.
