## What is wrong

On certaint vehicles, the passenger airbag modules may have been improperly assembled.  The cloth flap covering the folded airbag may have been tucked in too far.  This could prevent proper deployment of the airbag, thereby increasing the risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a collision.  Correction: passenger airbag module will be repaired.
