- [2015198](/recalls/tc/2015198.md), 2015-05-13: Airbag. On certain vehicles, the driver's \(frontal\) airbag inflator has a potential for intrusion of moisture over time due to insufficient air sealing.  This could result in the inflator rupturing during a deployment, and/or an abnormal deployment of the driver's \(frontal\) airbag during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\), which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the driver's \(frontal\) air bag inflator with an updated part.
