Details
What's wrong: The inflator canister in the driver air bag module may have an inadequate weld near the igniter.
Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the driver air bag may not deploy as intended, potentially resulting in reduced occupant protection, or a burn injury.
The fix: Dealers will install a driver air bag module. Owner notification began March 19, 2001.
