Component

AIR BAGS

Manufacturer

What Happened
The air bag in your vehicle is designed to inflate in the event of a crash to protect you and your passengers. However, in certain 2016-2017 models, the part that makes the air bag work might not ignite when it's supposed to.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the air bag won't deploy, leaving you and your passengers more vulnerable to serious injury in a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealership will replace the faulty air bag module with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as possible. This timing describes the original 2016 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
