Description of the problem	Upon entering the vehicle, i found active head restraint (ahr) on the passenger side in a deployed position. Visual inspection showed that plastic encasing safety pin has cracked and allowed the pin to separate, with metal hooks on the opposite side retaining the pin. The vehicle was parked in a carport overnight, and the fact that the hooks have not released the pin indicated that the deployment was not triggered by a collision, as it was designed to do. I am uncertain that a blow to the back of the head would cause a neck injury as alleged by some who have experienced the same problem while seated. However, it would have been a surprise and a major distraction; and as such, could indeed cause a traffic accident. I believe that these headrests must be recalled as soon as possible, as the design is defective, with plastic degrading further over time, and causing more of these accidental deployments to occur. I also noticed, that many vehicle owners have categorized this as an airbag problem. While the ahr is considered to be a part of jeep grand cherokee's passive restraint system, there are no actual airbags inside or any other explosive material inside the ahr, only cheap plastic retaining a safety pin under 75 lbs of tension.
