Details

What's wrong: During air bag deployment, it is possible that the bottom seam of the front driver's side air bag module cover (horn pad) could be torn away allowing the bottom portion of the cover to completely detach from the air bag module.

Why it matters: If this should occur, there is a possibility that the detached bottom portion may strike the driver causing personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the driver's side air bag module. Owner notification began December 28, 2001.
