Vehicle description: 4-door sport utility vehicles equipped with side air bags.

Risk
Inadvertent side air bag deployment could cause personal injury to the seat occupant.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the side crash sensors with a revised design that will reduce the likelihood of an unexpected side air bag deployment.
