The passenger front airbag inflator can build up too much pressure when deploying, causing it to burst. This may send fragments toward occupants or damage the airbag module, preventing proper deployment in a crash.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace the passenger front airbag inflator with a new one that uses a different, safer chemical composition.

What can fail

The passenger front air bag inflator can allow moisture inside over time, which may cause it to rupture.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace the passenger front air bag inflator with a different inflator at no cost.

What can fail

The front cross member can corrode from salt water exposure in certain regions, potentially causing the front lower control arms to detach.
