What is wrong
In some underbody impacts the airbag sensor activates and sends a signal to the airbag, located in the center of the steering wheel, causing the driver's side airbag to inflate.
The risk
Airbag inflation may occur when it is not needed to protect the driver and may result in minor injuries to the driver from the inflating airbag.
The fix
A tunnel sensor of different design will be installed on the affected vehicles.
