What's wrong, in plain English
Some Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles have interior trim at the top of the pillar between the front and rear doors that may not be fully seated. Loose trim can get in the way of the side curtain airbag when it inflates. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard meant to keep people from being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash. Dealers will reseat or replace the trim free of charge.
