## What is wrong

On some vehicles, due to a defect in manufacturing of the inflator module, the side curtain airbag\(s\) could deploy without warning. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non\-warranted \(non\-impact\) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause injuries to vehicle occupants.  Correction: Dealers will replace the affected side curtain airbag\(s\).
