| Description of the problem | 2008 dodge caravan. Consumer writes in regards to problem with vehicle airbag *tgw the consumer stated a recall was issued and it was performed by an authorized dealer. The fix was supposed to prevent the air bags from deploying. The fix required the a/c drain tube and grommet to be rerouted to prevent water from dripping on the air bag control module.
