What Happened
The airbag in your driver's seat is controlled by an inflator module, which is the part that makes the airbag deploy during a crash. In some of these vehicles, this module might have been put together incorrectly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag doesn't inflate properly, it could fail to protect you in a severe crash. This increases the risk of serious injury or harm.
Free Fix
Your dealer will fix the inflator module in your airbag at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
