On certain vehicles, the passenger side air bag modules may have an undersized inflator orifice. In the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger side air bag deployment, an undersized inflator orifice could cause the inflator module to explode. If an air bag inflator module explodes, metal and/or plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger side air bag modules in involved vehicles.
