Recall 1997009

The issue

THE TWO BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE DRIVER AIR BAG MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BOLTS INSTALLED IS INVOLVED IN A DEPLOYMENT LEVEL FRONTAL COLLISION, THE AIR BAG MODULE WOULD STAY IN POSITION DURING DEPLOYMENT, HOWEVER, THE MODULE WOULD LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL CAVITY FOLLOWING BAG DEPLOYMENT. CORRECTION: ALL VEHICLES WERE CORRECTED BY HAVING THE BOLTS INSTALLED PRIOR TO FINAL DELIVERY.

Description (français)

Il se peut que l’on ait omis de poser les deux boulons de fixation du sac de sécurité du conducteur pendant le montage. Si c’est le cas et que le véhicule est impliqué dans une collision frontale assez violente pour déclencher le déploiement du sac, le module du sac devrait demeurer en place pendant le gonflement mais il risque de quitter la cavité du volant une fois le sac gonflé.Correction : Tous les véhicules ont été corrigés et tous les boulons ont été posés avant la livraison finale.
