Attention owners of older-model Jeep SUVs--Chrysler has issued a recall due to reports of air bags inflating while driving.
The recall affects Jeep Grand Cherokees models from 2002 to 2004 and Liberty SUVs from 2002 and 2003--around 919,000 vehicles in total.
According to the Associated Press, a part can fail in the air bag control computer, causing the front and side air bags to go off while the SUVs are being driven. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found faulty air bags caused 81 minor injuries. However, no crashes have been reported.
Chrysler will install an electrical harness to fix the air bags. The company will begin notifying owners in January.
