On certain vehicles, the airbag inflator contained in the driver frontal airbag module may have been improperly stamped and/or contains a defect in the material used to manufacture the airbag inflator's metal housing, which, in the event of airbag deployment, may cause inflator components to separate. If the inflator components separate, this could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver frontal airbag module. Note: All affected units are still in the possession of dealers, and will be corrected before delivery.
