If the side curtain airbag has not been deployed, check the rear pillar trim (A) and note the following:
To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect the rear pillar trim and replace it if it has any of these types of damage:
-
Any cracks, deformations, or stress-whitened areas in the rear pillar trim
-
Any cracks or stress-whitened areas in the clip seating surfaces (B)
Remove the grommet (C) from the pin (D), and discard the grommet because it was damaged during removal.
Replace the grommet with a new one.
Do not install the grommet to the pin before checking the overlap between the headliner and the rear pillar trim.
If the clips (E) are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.
