On certain vehicles, a bolt used to attach an interior trim piece to either the driver's or passenger's side A-Pillar may not have been installed during vehicle assembly. In the event of a crash resulting in side curtain airbag deployment the trim piece may not remain properly secured to the A-pillar, therefore increasing the risk of personal injury to the driver and/or front seat passenger. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install a bolt to the A-pillar trim panels.
