What's wrong

ZF Group North America Operations (ZF) is recalling certain Air Bag Inflators, part numbers 34277217A, 34204745A, 34177958C, and 34200077B. The diffusers may be improperly crimped causing them to separate from the inflator in the event of a curtain air bag deployment, affecting the curtain air bag inflation.
