Issue
Issue:
On certain vehicles, exposure to moisture over time could cause the driver-front airbag not to inflate properly in a crash.
Safety Risk:
In a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the driver-front airbag may not inflate properly. This could create a risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail. There may be a significant delay before replacement parts are available. The company will send you a second letter once replacement parts are available and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag inflator. If the inflator requires replacement, a newly design part will be installed.
