What Happened
The air bag in your passenger seat is designed to inflate in a crash to protect you. However, in some affected vehicles, the air bag's inflator charge is incorrect, which could reduce its effectiveness.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a severe crash, the air bag might not deploy properly or might not work as well as it should, which could leave you more vulnerable to injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the air bag module with a new one that has the correct inflator charge, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
