The short version

WHAT

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled into the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

WHY IT MATTERS

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

WHAT TO DO

DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side frontal air bag, free of charge.
