Details

On certain vehicles, a defect in the curtain shield air bags could cause the inflator to fail, releasing pressurized gas into the airbag, partially inflating it.

If this occurs, parts of the inflator could also separate from the vehicle structure, entering the interior of the vehicle.

Should this occur when occupants are in the vehicle, unintended airbag deployment could startle the driver, and airbag inflator parts could come into contact with the occupants, increasing the risk of injury and a crash.

Correction: Dealers will install a retention bracket which will prevent the inflator parts from entering the vehicle interior.
