## What is wrong

THE TWO BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE DRIVER AIR BAG MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY.  IF A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BOLTS INSTALLED IS INVOLVED IN A DEPLOYMENT LEVEL FRONTAL COLLISION, THE AIR BAG MODULE WOULD STAY IN POSITION DURING DEPLOYMENT, HOWEVER, THE MODULE WOULD LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL CAVITY FOLLOWING BAG DEPLOYMENT.

CORRECTION: ALL VEHICLES WERE CORRECTED BY HAVING THE BOLTS INSTALLED PRIOR TO FINAL DELIVERY.
