Description of the problem	On thursday june 4, 2020 i was operating a 2015 dodge caravan owned by the danville public schools transportation division. While stopped at a traffic light i raised the height of the head rest one click to place the head rest higher up the back of my head. When the light changed to green i proceeded to the next intersection and had to stop for a second red light. As i pulled away from the second light (after a green indicator) the head rest suddenly popped open making impact with the rear of my head. The vehicle was in motion when the head rest deployed. I mentioned the head rest to our shop technician who began to make inquiry into the possible cause. The shop technician spoke to the local dodge dealership about the issue and was advised there were no recalls or safety bulletins on the issue and that new replacements were available for around $600 and that our best option would be to retrieve one from a junk yard. A closer look on line indicated issues with dodge ahr head rest. The locking pin should be released by a solenoid powered latch that is triggered by the sensor system in the event of a crash. The plastic retainers that hold the locking pin failed and broke away causing the front section of the head rest to deploy without triggering the solenoid. Please see the attached photos of the damaged retainer points and the locking pin. This 2015 dodge van has 58,976 original miles.
