The defect

The driver side air bag module can have an inadequately welded inflator canister.

The risk

In the event of a collision, the weld seam can separate, causing the air bag to fail to deploy properly and hot gases to be expelled from the back of the steering wheel. This can result in an increased risk of personal injury from the hot gases and the air bag failure.

The remedy

Dealers will install a new air bag module.
