US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID | 96V231000 |
---|---|
Number of Units Affected | 742 |
Summary | Two bolts that attach the driver air bag to the steering wheel were not installed during vehicle assembly. |
Consequence | In the event of a frontal collision, the air bag module would stay in position during deployment. However, the module could leave the steering wheel cavity following air bag deployment. |
Remedy | Dealers will inspect the vehicles and install any bolts that were missing. |
Notes | No owner notification will be perfomred on this campaign since the vehicles are still in transit to dealers or are being held at dealerships. |
