Details

What's wrong: Due to a software incompatibility, in the event of a low speed crash, both stages of the frontal air bags may deploy instead of only the first-stage deploying as intended.

Why it matters: If the air bags do not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the air bag control unit software, free of charge. The recall began November 2, 2018.
