The SRT Viper is being withdrawn due to its potential default with safety bags sensor.

1,912 vehicles which were built since November of 2012 till June of 2014 are being withdrawn. Cars which have default sensors could erroneously read that the seat is closer to the safety bag than it is. The safety bag was created to unfold with less foison when the seat is nearer to it, though it might not suggest less protection during a collision than it is supposed to.

The automaker stated that it is not aware of any possible damages connected with the default, nevertheless it is going to withdraw 16 cars in Mexico, 201 in Canada, 1,624 in the United States and 71 vehicles from other markets. It is expected that the customers will be reached by the automaker and asked to send their cars to dealership service department. A technician will nest a metal construction which will supply the sensor with accurate reading there.
