| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | August 1, 2002 |

| Production period | January 30, 2001 — February 2001 |

Defect
In the front passenger airbag, some inflators have an improperly welded joint between the diffuser and the gas generator body. When the airbag deploys, this joint may separate and the diffuser may detach, preventing inflation gas from reaching the bag. The airbag will fail to deploy, increasing the risk of excessive occupant injury in a frontal collision.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front passenger airbag assembly with a conforming unit.
