What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened
The passenger airbag in your vehicle is the one that deploys in front of you in case of a crash. It's powered by a part called the inflator module, which uses a special chemical to quickly fill the airbag. Unfortunately, the inflator in your vehicle might have a design flaw that can cause it to explode, especially in areas with high humidity and extreme temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal pieces flying into you or other occupants, causing serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty inflator with a safer one, free of charge. You'll receive a recall notice with instructions on when and where to schedule the repair.
