Details
What's wrong: In some underbody impacts the airbag sensor activates and sends a signal to the airbag, located in the center of the steering wheel, causing the driver's side airbag to inflate.
Why it matters: Airbag inflation may occur when it is not needed to protect the driver and may result in minor injuries to the driver from the inflating airbag.
The fix: A tunnel sensor of different design will be installed on the affected vehicles.
