Chrysler to recall more than 145,000 pickups

DETROIT, REUTERS - DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler unit said on Wednesday it will recall more than 145,000 Dodge Ram light duty pickup trucks to replace the passenger airbags.

"The passenger air bag may not be compatible with a limited number of rear-facing child seat models if the passenger seat is in the full forward position and an airbag deployment occurs," Chrysler said.

The automaker will also replace the front passenger seat belt assembly in the same model trucks and in an additional 15,151 vehicles.

The front passenger seat belt may not allow the owner to properly secure some child restraint systems, Chrysler said.
