Airbag
2020-03-31 · campaign 2020-136
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could be defective. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. It could also cause the inflator to rupture. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward the occupants or cause damage to the airbag and prevent it from inflating properly.
Safety Risk:
If the vehicle is involved in a crash where the airbag deploys, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury or death.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver-front airbag inflator or airbag module.
Brakes
