Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles not equipped with optional roof rail airbags or optional sunroof fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201,"occupant protection in interior impact." During NHTSA impact tests, the interior occupant protection test points exceeded the standard requirements.
Why it matters: The results of this test indicated a possibility of an increased risk of head injury in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install an energy absorbing foam piece to each of the a-pillar trim assemblies free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2008.
