Details

What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific vehicle model details. A faulty electrical contact within the seat position switch may prevent the driver and passenger air bags and seat belt force limiters from properly activating during a crash.

Why it matters: Air bags and seat belts that do not perform properly in a crash can increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat position switches, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed May 21, 2021.
