Details
What's wrong: Inadvertent deployment of the air bag can occur.
Why it matters: Deployment of the air bag without warning could cause a driver to lose vehicle control increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the air bag system and a special filter horn relay will be installed that protects the air bag unit from voltage peaks.
