Details
What's wrong: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit can cause the air bag to deploy unexpectedly.
Why it matters: This type of unanticipated air bag deployment could result in abrasion to the hands, arms, or face of a properly-positioned front seat occupant, or could cause more serious injury to an out-of-position occupant.
The fix: Dealers will replace the SRS electronic control unit in the air bag system.
