Recall 1990182

The issue

ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER SIDE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG, THE CENTRE POST THREADS OF THE AIR BAG MODULE MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY. IN A DEPLOYMENT LEVEL COLLISION, THE CENTRE POST HOUSING MAY SEPARATE FROM THE AIR BAG ADAPTER CAUSING THE AIR BAG NOT TO INFLATE PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, HOT COMBUSTION GASES WOULD FLOW DIRECTLY THROUGH THE AIR BAG RATHER THAN THROUGH THE NORMAL FILTERING AND COOLING DEVICES, PRESENTING THE POSSIBILITY OF BURN INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. CORRECTION: AIR BAG MODULES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules équipés du côté du conducteur d'un sac gonflable résiduel, il se peut que les filets de la colonne centrale du module du sac aient été endommagés au cours de l'assemblage. Advenant une collision, il se peut que le logement de la colonne se sépare de l'adaptateur du sac et empêche le sac de se gonfler correctement. De plus, les gaz de combustion chauds s'échapperaient directement à travers les circuits de refroidissement et de filtration, occasionnant des risques de brûlure aux occupants.
