What is being recalled
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLE. SOME PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE ASSEMBLIES ARE MISSING SOME REQUIRED COMPONENTS.
Why it is dangerous
IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY TO THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR BAG MODULE IN THESE VEHICLES.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 98V-049 when calling a dealer.
