On certain Crew Cab vehicles, welds on the passenger airbag inflator may fracture during airbag deployment, allowing some of the gases to vent behind the instrument panel instead of into the airbag. If this occurs, the airbag may not fully inflate. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag assembly.
