What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If these sensors fail, your airbags might not work as well as they should in a crash. This could put you at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check and replace these sensors for you, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible to ensure your airbags work as intended.
