Details

What's wrong: The passenger side airbag may not properly deploy through the instrument panel tear seam.

Why it matters: The airbag may not properly protect the passenger in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the top cover of the instrument panel free of charge. The campaign is expected to begin in December 2009.
