The issue
On certaint vehicles, the passenger airbag modules may have been improperly assembled. The cloth flap covering the folded airbag may have been tucked in too far. This could prevent proper deployment of the airbag, thereby increasing the risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a collision. Correction: passenger airbag module will be repaired.
Description (français)
Il se peut que le module de déploiement du coussin gonflable du côté du passager ait été mal monté sur ces véhicules. La bande de tissu qui recouvre le coussin replié aurait été rentrée trop loin, ce qui empêcherait le coussin gonflable de se déployer correctement, augmentant les risques de blessures aux occupants en cas d’accident. Correction : Le module de déploiement du coussin gonflable du passager devra être réparé.
