Recall 2001150

The issue

Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." These vehicles exceed the maximum allowable Head Injury Criterion value specified in the standard for passenger-side A-pillar target location. Consequently, in a crash, the front seat passenger could suffer increased head injury from contact with the passenger A pillar (forward most roof support). Correction: Dealers will install padding to the A pillar to reduce the risk of injury in a crash.

Description (français)

Certaines voitures de tourisme ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 201 - Protection des occupants. De par son emplacement du côté du passager, le montant du pare-brise ne respecte pas les critères maximum admissibles de la norme en matière de traumatismes crâniens, ce qui augmente donc la possibilité que le passager avant subisse un traumatisme crânien dû à un choc contre le montant du pare-brise en cas d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser du rembourrage sur le montant du pare-brise pour réduire les risques de blessure en cas d'accident.
