As a precautionary measure, all vehicles will have the affected inflator replaced with a conforming part.

Corrective action

As a precautionary measure, replace the passenger-side airbag inflator on all vehicles with a conforming part and collect the removed units for defect cause investigation. If parts are unavailable, disable the passenger airbag as an interim measure and display a warning on the passenger sun visor indicating that the airbag is non-operational.
