Trims covered

Known issues on the 2005 MPV. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three trace back to the passenger frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator explosion can send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, risking serious injury or death; one of the three recalls attributes this to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to heat and humidity. Owners have filed 42 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the air bag system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the passenger air bag module, working through a related recall repair, or handling routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 MPV.
