Details

What's wrong: The driver-side window air bag may not have been mounted correctly to the lower area of the a-pillar. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "ejection mitigation."

Why it matters: The driver-side window air bag may not function properly during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the mounting of the driver-side window air bag and repair it as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 2021.
