What's wrong: Corrosion of the air bag inflator's internal wiring, which can occur over time, could cause the inadvertent deployment of the driver's air bag. This deployment could occur during vehicle start-up, while the vehicle is parked or idling, or while in operation.
Why it matters: If the consumer is too close to an inflating air bag, serious injuries could occur.
The fix: Dealers will replace the inflators on these air bags.
