What Happened
Your vehicle's passenger side airbag has an inflator that's prone to failure after long exposure to humid, hot environments. This inflator is the part that rapidly inflates the airbag in a crash, but it could also explode and shatter into sharp metal fragments.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal fragments hurtling towards you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator with a new, safer one – completely free of charge. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
