Benson sold the Crossfire and should have Service Techs familiar with working on these cars. But as a precaution, I think I'll take a copy of the airbag removal & install from the Service Manual just in case the Service Tech is unfamiliar with the procedure. FCA should have provided to the dealer service centers clear instructions on how this recall is to be executed.
Went back & added the attached files. Curious to know if Chrysler Service Techs perform the Verification Test when they complete the airbag recall. Only way to guarantee that the SRS (Supplemental Restriant System) will function properly. They have to make sure there are no trouble codes present.
Just a note, the service manual states its 'self' check as key on/start lamp lit for @ 6 seconds then it goes out. IF the lamp is lit before, or it does not light for that @ 6 seconds (or go out) then the system is having a fault. I am sure I read it in
Vol 2 section 8 pages 80-504 (onwards). The owners manual of my car lists it as the 'Airbag' light, left side cluster about midway on its right side of that cluster.
