Over 440 Dodge Viper coupes recalled due to airbag trouble

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Chrysler has just recalled 440 Dodge Viper coupes from 2003-2004 after discovering that a defect in the supplemental restraint system could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag, side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner.

In a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, this could startle the driver and lead to a crash.

Consequently, Dodge dealers will install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue.

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Sébastien Ogier (Volkswagen Polo) remains in the lead after the second day of rally Sweden, 26.9 seconds ahead of Sébastien Loeb (Citroën DS3).

Ogier, who dominated the first day, had a tougher time on Saturday, opening the road for his rivals. Despite this handicap, the Volkswagen driver lost only four seconds over Loeb before the four last stages of Sunday.

Behind the Frenchmen, Mads Ostberg (Ford Fiesta) took over third position from Jari-Matti Latvala (Volkswagen Polo). The Norwegian now stands six seconds ahead of Latvala, but some 30 seconds behind Loeb, in second position.
