Details

What's wrong: Wiring may be reversed on the steering column control module driver airbag squib connector. The driver's airbag may not deploy as intended.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the driver's airbag may not properly inflate and may not be able to properly protect an occupant, increasing the risk of injuries.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the driver's airbag squib wires and replace the steering column control module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009.
