These vehicles were manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit.  As a result, the air bag control unit may not remain functional after the initial impact, possibly preventing additional air bags from deploying in response to a secondary impact.","consequence":"If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury.","remedy":"DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate and protective bracket around the air bag control unit, free of charge.  The recall began on May 26, 2017.
