2011-2021 Grand Cherokee Durango Black Leather Headrest 5RX96DX9AA OEM

Symptoms your AHR or active head restraint headrest is going bad and how to spot a failing unit. If you drive a Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler, your headrest is loaded with high tension springs that can snap without warning. Symptom number one, unprovoked deployment. You hit a small bump or your stop at a red light and your headrest deploys on its own, bumping in the head. Symptom number two, bulging or loose leather or fabric or a loose rear shell. That means the internal plastic latches are cracking under spring tension and are about to fail. Symptom number three, an airbag or SRS warning light on your dash. Usually throwing codes B1, BA7 or B1, BA8. Those are for the deployment circuit. Whatever you do, don't wrap zip ties around, duct tape, ruins a safety mechanism and can cause severe injury in a real crash. Don't pay a thousand dollars at the dealership for an entire seat assembly when all you're doing is replacing a plastic latch. Drop your ear, make model in the comments and let's get you an OEM tested replacement headrest today.
