Chrysler said it was recalling about 145,000 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups to replace the passenger air bag pack and reprogram the air bag's computer system.
The company also said it will replace the front passenger seat belt assembly in the same vehicles because it may not allow an owner to properly secure a limited number of child restraint systems. The assembly will be replaced in the recalled pickups plus about 15,000 additional Ram pickups from the same model year.
Chrysler said no injuries have been reported.
In a separate action, Chrysler said it was recalling about 35,000 Dodge Durango vehicles from the 2001-2003 model years because of potential fires between the two front seats.
Chrysler has received 16 reports of fires and no injuries.
The automaker said it will inspect a wiring connector in the console for possible corrosion or contamination. It said if liquid is spilled from the cup holder onto the wiring connector, it could lead to a short circuit with the potential for fires.
