What's wrong, in plain English
The side air bag inflatable curtains in these trucks may have been built with the wrong amount of compressed gas inside them. Because of this, the air bag curtain may not deploy the way it is designed to if it is needed during a crash. Dealers will replace the side air bag curtain assemblies on the affected trucks, at no charge to the owner.
