Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, during production of the driver's frontal air bag, the air bag may not unfold properly in the event of a crash and therefore may not inflate as designed.
Why it matters: Loss of frontal air bag deployment could occur which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a new driver's frontal air bag free of charge. The recall began on October 6, 2006.
