Risk if Unfixed

If the inflator fails, it could explode and send sharp metal fragments into your vehicle, causing serious injury or even death to you or your passenger.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator or entire module with a new, safe one – absolutely free. Until then, please don't drive your vehicle, and wait for a second notice when the repair parts become available.
