What is the AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE recall for the 2005 CHRYSLER Sebring? (Campaign #15V338000)

The passenger side airbag inflator module is a critical safety component that deploys in a crash to protect you. In some 2000-2005 Eclipse, Sebring, and Stratus models, this module could fail, causing the airbag to deploy in a way that might detach the passenger side sun visor. If the sun visor detaches and flies backward, you're at risk of getting hit by it, which could cause injury. In a crash, this could lead to serious harm. Your dealer will secure the passenger sun visor with a tether strap, ensuring it stays in place during an airbag deployment. This repair is completely free of charge.
