Details

What's wrong: These vehicles may have been built with lower than the intended level of torque on the bolts that attach the air bag electronic crash sensor module to the vehicle.

Why it matters: A loose module could result in a delayed air bag deployment in the event of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will tighten the air bag electronic crash sensor attaching bolts.
