The vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. There is currently no fix for the recall and the notice was sent out in October. It is unacceptable to take this long, I don't feel safe driving.
