Risk

An incorrectly installed air bag may not function correctly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the frontal air bag fasteners, tightening them to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-771.
