Defect
On vehicles in which the passenger-side airbag inflator was replaced with a corrected part, the airbag vent opening is undersized. During airbag deployment, this can cause cracks in the airbag assembly bracket or tears at the airbag vent. As a result, the airbag may not deploy properly and, in the worst case, occupant protection performance may be reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the airbag module with a corrected part.
