What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened
Your vehicle has a faulty front passenger air bag inflator module that may not work properly in the event of an accident, which could lead to a malfunction during air bag deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal fragments into the passenger compartment, causing serious injury or even death. If the air bag doesn't deploy correctly, it may not protect you properly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
