Your car is subject to an airbag recall issued in March, but as of mid-June, no fix is available yet. You've been notified by mail but haven't received any communication about when replacement parts will arrive from the manufacturer. This leaves you driving with a known airbag safety issue, which is concerning if this is your only vehicle. The dealer or manufacturer will need to install replacement airbag components once parts become available.

Your 2021 Dodge Charger has an open recall for the curtain side airbag that Dodge hasn't yet provided a fix for. In April 2024, your car displayed a service airbag warning, and the dealership found a problem with the passenger seat harness airbag—they treated it as a warranty issue but charged you a deductible. The combination of the unresolved recall and this airbag malfunction suggests potential reliability concerns with the airbag system in this model year.

Your passenger-side airbag system has a fault code indicating the frontal airbag squib 2 control circuit is open, and your dashboard displays a check airbag system warning. Since your car was previously in an accident and has a branded title, the airbag system may not have been properly repaired or tested during the rebuilding process. The repair will likely require replacing the airbag control module, wiring harness, or the airbag squib assembly itself to restore proper functionality.
