Description of the problem	I was driving on i25 in denver and when i was just getting off the exit ramp i hit a very small bump and i heard a loud noise. I couldn't tell if it was inside or outside the vehicle at first. I looked over and was surprised to see that the passenger headrest had deployed its mechanism to move part of it forward to lessen the affect of whiplash from an accident. It was a startling noise and i wondered what would have happened if a family member would have been in that seat and been hit in the head by the headrest. Even more of a concern would be if the deployment would have been on the driver side. Who knows what would have happened if i had been startled by getting hit in head at highway speed. I now drive the car with the seat adjusted at about a 60 degree angle to avoid that scenario. I was shocked to find out from fca that there was no recall for such a serious safety issue. I complained to them and they are not standing behind the safety of their vehicles. I purchased the vehicle in 2017 as a certified preowned vehicle and that program wouldn't cover the repair of the vehicle either. The dealership wants to charge me $1,000 to fix it but they can't get a new headrest because it is back ordered. Obviously this is because it is happening to other jeep owners. I also saw on a jeep blog that this is happening to others. I found it very hard to believe that an oem does not have to repair a safety device that deploys for no reason and puts the passengers at risk. I look forward to hearing from you.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
