Details

What's wrong: The head air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint, which can cause gas to leak from the inflator or result in an inflator rupture.

Why it matters: An inflator that ruptures may cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, an inflator that leaks gas may only partially inflate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the head air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 4, 2024.
