Details
What's wrong: The front passenger air bag modules have been improperly assembled. The cloth flaps covering the folded air bag may have been tucked in too far.
Why it matters: This condition could prevent proper deployment of the air bag. In a crash, an improper air bag deployment could increase the risk of injury to a front seat passenger.
The fix: Dealers will repair the front passenger's air bag module to prevent this problem from occurring.
