Filing in context

For scale, 1,060 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 6 months.
Defect
The passenger-side airbag is improperly folded during assembly. During the initial stage of deployment, the bag contacts the side walls of the case, creating resistance that prevents full inflation. This causes internal pressure to rise and, in the worst case, the airbag may tear at its sewn seams, reducing occupant protection performance.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the passenger-side airbag with the corrected part.
