Defect

In the affected vehicles, the side impact sensor calibrations may be overly sensitive, and as a result, the side air bag inflatable curtains and seat air bags may unexpectedly deploy and the seat belt pre-tensioners may activate.

Safety risk

Air bags that unexpectedly deploy increase the risk of a crash or injury.
