To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying, improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect the front pillar trim and replace it if it has any of these types of damage:
-
Any cracks, deformations, or stress-whitening in the front pillar trim
-
Any cracks or stress-whitening in the clip seating surfaces (C, D)
Check if the clip (E) is damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with a new one.
