Our read of the federal NHTSA complaint and recall record for this exact year and model — not a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection. How we score.
If the air bag inflator initiator fails to ignite, the side air bag will not deploy, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Deactivated air bags increase the risk of injury. Inadvertent deployment of the air bags increase the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, if the windshield separates from the vehicle, it can increase the risk of injury.
