Details

What's wrong: There may be an intermittent fault in the driver's airbag clockspring wiring connector for the supplemental restraint system.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the driver's frontal airbag may not deploy as intended or at all, and therefore will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries.

The fix: Dealers will install a metal shim in the driver's air bag clockspring wiring connector. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on October 20, 2010.
