What the authority says can happen if this is not fixed: “Inadvertent air bag deployment can increase the risk of injury for an occupant in the front passenger seat, and increase the possibility of a vehicle crash.”

What it said before
This campaign is in the register but not yet in the dated wording archive, so we cannot yet say whether its text has moved. It enters the archive on the next pass.
This is one of 844 notices in the record whose component field names air bags. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 46 days.
