On certain vehicles, a wrong diameter clamp may have been used to join the window airbag to the gas generator. In the event of a side impact collision, gas may escape from the joint between the two components and the window bag may not fully deploy. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and entire window bag will be replace if required.
