NHTSA recall 03V051000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain MINI vans, passenger and sport utility vehicles, some of these vehicles have a driver's side air bag that may not deploy as designed. In addition, the air bag inflator could rupture.
Why it matters: This could result in reduced capability of the air bag to protect the driver. Also if the air bag inflator ruptured, pieces of the inflator could strike and injure the vehicle occupants.
The fix: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, install a new driver's air bag. Owner notification began on March 11, 2003.
