Understanding the Airbag Defect

The recall addresses a critical manufacturing issue in the front passenger airbag assembly:

• Faulty Sewing: The airbag cushion may have been improperly stitched during production
• Deployment Risk: During airbag activation, the compromised seam could tear
• Safety Impact: Partial or improper airbag deployment increases collision injury risk

This defect particularly concerns the passenger-side frontal airbag, which is designed to protect adult occupants in moderate to severe frontal crashes. When functioning properly, these airbags significantly reduce the risk of head and chest injuries.
