Details

What's wrong: The left-side or right-side roof rail air bag (rrab) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.

Why it matters: A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace both rrab modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026.
