Details
What's wrong: The supplemental restraint system side air bag satellite sensors installed were improperly manufactured, causing the air bag warning light to illuminate and the side air bags to not deploy as intended in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: Non-deployment of the side air bags could increase the risk of injury during a crash where side air bag deployment is intended.
The fix: Dealers will replace the two satellite sensors.
