What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened

The driver air bag in your vehicle is a safety feature designed to deploy in a crash to protect you. In some older models, a faulty inflator could suddenly blow apart, sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin.

Risk if Unfixed

If the inflator explodes, it could shoot metal fragments into the driver's seat area, causing serious injury or even death. This could happen in a real-world crash, and it's a very serious risk.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
