"Due to a manufacturing issue, the side curtain airbags may be fitted with a faulty gas generator. As a result, the airbag may not deploy as intended," the manufacturer said in its recall notice.
"In the event of airbag deployment in an accident, the side curtain airbag may not provide adequate protection for vehicle occupants which could increase the risk of injury or death."
