What's wrong:

Why it matters: During an air bag deployment, if a small female in the front passenger seat is not wearing the safety belt, and has the seat in the full forward position, there may be an increased potential for a neck injury.

The fix: Dealers will reprogram the restraint control module free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2008.
