NHTSA Campaign 21V052000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened

The frontal passenger airbag in your vehicle is designed to deploy in the event of a crash to protect you and your passengers. However, in certain models, the inflator that makes the airbag deploy may fail due to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity, causing it to explode.

Risk if Unfixed

If the inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal fragments flying into the passenger area, putting you and your passengers at risk of serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator with a safer, redesigned one at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
