Airbag on other Town & Country years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016.
What this problem usually is
Airbag complaints split into a few kinds. The most common is an airbag warning light that won't go out. Others involve the passenger seat sensor switching the passenger bag off with an adult sitting there, an airbag that didn't deploy in a crash, or one that went off without a crash at all. A large share also come from owners waiting on a recall part.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the occupant sensor (7 reports).

What owners wrote
“Driver side headrest popped out and plastic pieces are broken inside. I believe there is an investigation for this: Active Head Rest Inadvertent Deployment. It randomly happened the other day while vehicle was parked in garage. Iâm not sure to get the headrest fixed for safety reasons or leave it broken.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 9 of 39 reports involved a crash and 13 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
