Details

On certain vehicles, the inflator diffuser installed in certain side curtain air bag modules may not have been manufactured correctly.

If the vehicle were involved in a crash that warranted side curtain airbag deployment, this could potentially lead to the diffuser detaching.

If the diffuser were to detach, it could become a projectile in the occupant compartment, and could cause a tear that could result in the side curtain airbag to not fully inflate.

Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Correction: Dealers will inspect both the right and left hand side curtain airbags to determine whether they are from the suspect population, and replace as necessary.
