The passenger side air bag module cover may be discoloring. DO NOT replace the air bag module for discoloring concerns. The discoloring is a salt that is formed on the air bag cover surface as a result of a chemical reaction between the polyester cover material and gases originating from urethane components in the vehicle.

Clean the air bag cover with a nonabrasive liquid soap (such as liquid dish soap or liquid hand soap) and warm water solution.
