What's wrong?
In the 2009 Dodge Journey, the front door wire harness is the bundle of wires that carries electrical signals between each front door and the rest of the vehicle. Those wires also support the side impact sensor circuit, which helps the airbag system detect a side crash and prepare the proper restraints.
On affected Journey vehicles, the wires inside the front door harnesses fatigue from repeated door movement. When a wire breaks, the circuit for a side impact sensor is interrupted. The vehicle can turn on the airbag warning lamp, and the airbag system loses side crash sensing capability for that circuit.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the airbag warning lamp after the circuit has already opened. Treat that light as a signal that the airbag system needs recall service, not as a routine dashboard nuisance.

What's the safety risk?
If a crash occurs, the side airbag can fail to deploy. That reduces the protection intended for the occupant and increases the risk of injury. Schedule the recall work soon so the door wiring harnesses are replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Dodge dealer once available.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V658?
Recall 10V658 covers 64,934 2009 Dodge Journey SUVs with front door wiring harnesses that can fatigue and break. That wiring failure can interrupt side impact sensor circuits, turn on the airbag warning lamp, and reduce side crash sensing. Dodge dealers replace both front door wiring harnesses for free.
What should I do if my 2009 Dodge Journey is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Journey is included in recall 10V658. If it is, contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule replacement of the left and right front door wiring harnesses. Reference recall number 10V658 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the safety defect at no cost. For recall 10V658, Dodge dealers replace the left and right front door wiring harnesses free of charge, including parts and labor.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced side airbag protection in a crash. Broken wires in the front door harnesses can interrupt the side impact sensor circuits. If that happens, the side airbag is not deployed as intended, increasing injury risk for occupants.
What warning signs should I watch for?
Watch for an airbag warning lamp on the dashboard. The recall report links that warning lamp to interrupted side impact sensor circuits from broken front door harness wires. If the light is on, check your VIN and call a franchised Dodge dealer with recall number 10V658.
