What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator ruptures in a crash, sharp metal fragments could fly towards you, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening situation that requires immediate attention.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a safer one, free of charge. You'll be notified when the parts are available, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
