Airbags Vehicle recall #21V257000 · 2021 · 279,040 vehicles
What's wrong: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) wiring May become damaged with regular use of the driver-side door.
Why it matters: Damaged wires May cause the air bag sensor to become inoperable, preventing the deployment of the side and curtain air bags on the driver side and increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver-side front door wire harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2021.
