Issue

On certain units, a molding strip located in the dashboard may have been improperly spot welded to the passenger airbag covering flap. In the event of an airbag deployment, the molding strip could become loose and enter the passenger compartment or impair proper airbag function. This could increase the risk of personal injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reinforce the connection between the airbag flap and the molding strip.
