Recall 1994171

The issue

THE TWO BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM MODULE TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY BE MISSING ON SOME VEHICLES. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, THE MODULE COULD COME OUT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. CORRECTION: MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE INSTALLED AND TORQUED TO PROPER SPECIFICATION.

Description (français)

Les deux boulons qui servent à monter le module du système de retenue d'appoint à coussin gonflable sur le tableau de bord du côté passager peuvent manquer sur certains véhicules. Si l'un de ceux-ci était impliqué dans une collision, il se peut que le module se détache du tableau de bord, ce qui représente un risque de blessure pour les occupants. Correction: Les boulons de montage devront être posés et serrés au couple approprié.
