Reported risk: On certain vehicles, a defect in the passenger airbag inflator could cause stored compressed gas to be released into the airbag. This would cause an unwarranted partial inflation of the airbag. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could startle the driver, potentially leading to a crash, or the airbag could contact a passenger seated in the front passenger seat. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
