Details

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."

Why it matters: In the event of a crash in which the air bags do not deploy, there is a possibility of increased head injury to the front seat passenger should contact with the passenger side air bag cover occur.

The fix: Dealers will install new energy absorbing air bag mounting brackets. Owner notification began July 23, 2002.
