On certain vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags, the installation bolts could damage the airbags when they deploy. In the event of a crash requiring deployment of the side curtain airbags, the airbags may not inflate properly, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install a protective cover over the side curtain airbag installation bolts.
