NHTSA Campaign 15V666000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

What Happened

The side air bags in your vehicle are designed to deploy in a side collision to cushion your body. However, in some 2015 models, the inflator that makes these air bags deploy could fail and rupture, potentially sending sharp metal fragments into the passenger compartment.

Risk if Unfixed

If the air bag inflator ruptures during a side crash, you could be hit by sharp metal shards, which could cause serious injury or even death. If the air bag doesn't inflate properly, you're at a higher risk of getting hurt.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the faulty air bag modules with new ones, free of charge. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
