Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactiveReported December 1, 1998 · 20 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Vehicle description: light duty trucks. The cast tow hooks changes the crash pulse of the vehicle in frontal barrier impacts and the air bag sensor was not calibrated to this new crash pulse which may cause the air bags to deploy in lower speed impacts than design intent.
Risk: Unexpected air bag deployment can result in personal injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the cast tow hooks with forged hooks.
