These models have a steering wheel wiring harness that may rub against the driver air bag module retainer spring causing an electrical short that could cause the driver’s front air bag to unexpectedly deploy.
Dealers will inspect, repair as necessary, and secure the steering wheel wiring harness. Protective caps will also be added to the air bag retainer spring ends. The recall is expected to start on 19 September.
