The failure pattern owners describe
Buyer takeaway: Do not buy a 2019 Chrysler 300 until the curtain airbag recall (24V198000) is actually completed—parts remain unavailable and owners are stuck in limbo, with at least two reporting airbag non-deployment in real crashes. The manufacturer's inability to supply replacement components after over a year is a serious safety issue.
The main issue across 22 complaints is a recall (NHTSA Campaign 24V198000) for airbags on the 2019 Chrysler 300 that goes unresolved due to missing parts. Nearly every complaint states Chrysler has exceeded a reasonable repair timeline, with some owners reporting the recall notice arrived over a year ago. One owner noted the dealership received parts for 2020 and 2021 model years but not 2019 units, suggesting a parts distribution disconnect. The airbags at issue appear to involve SABIC inflators used in curtain airbags; one owner cited concerns about potential rupture and catastrophic failure.
Two owners reported actual crashes where airbags failed to deploy: one at 20 mph during a left turn with passenger-side impact, another a T-bone collision at 50 mph hitting the passenger side. Both involved no injuries but raised concerns about airbag function. One owner reported an abnormal sound between the dashboard and engine at 50,000 miles that the dealer could not diagnose. Most other owners stated no failure occurred, only frustration at the recall limbo. A few owners mentioned secondary hardship—inability to register vehicles due to pending recalls, and dealerships refusing to provide loaners during service, stranding owners without transportation.
