What’s wrong with it?
In the event of a crash, if the KAB does not inflate properly, it may not provide the intended protection to the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2019 Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, and Velocity vehicles.
Due to improper manufacturing, the passenger-side knee air bag (KAB) may not properly inflate during a deployment event.
