Reported risk: On certain vehicles, incorrect fasteners (tapping screws) that attach the front passenger knee air bag module to the lower instrument panel may have been installed during vehicle assembly. This could damage the knee air bag module mounting holes and result in the fasteners loosening over time. A loosened fastener could affect the performance of the knee air bag in a crash (where deployment is warranted), and could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and confirm that the correct fasteners were used. If not, the dealer will remove the air bag assembly, replace the instrument panel brace and body bracket, and reinstall the air bag with correct fasteners.
