Recall 2006316

The issue

On certain vehicles, in cases where a weak battery exists, it is possible that a low voltage condition could cause the airbag control unit to improperly set a fault code. If this occurs, the passenger-side frontal airbag will become deactivated and would not deploy during a frontal crash. As a result, a passenger-seat occupant could receive more severe injuries. Correction: Dealers will update the airbag control module software.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, si la batterie était faiblement chargée, une tension faible pourrait faire en sorte que l'unité de commande de coussin gonflable produise à tort un code de défaillance. Si cela se produisait, le coussin gonflable frontal du passager se désactiverait et ne se déploierait pas lors d'une collision frontale. En conséquence, une personne assise à la position du passager pourrait être blessé plus gravement. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre à jour le logiciel de module de commande de coussin gonflable.
