Recall 2007033

The issue

On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the airbag occupant detection system in the front passenger seating position might have been pinched during vehicle assembly. Pinching of the wiring harness between the floor cross member and the seat mounting bracket could result in an electrical short which would blow the circuit fuse. If this happens, the passenger airbag would be unable to deploy during a crash, leaving the seat occupant susceptible to increased injuries. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, repair wiring damage.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le faisceau de câbles du système de détection de passager relié au coussin gonflable du siège du passager avant pourrait avoir été pincé pendant le montage du véhicule. Le pincement du faisceau de câbles entre la traverse du plancher et le support de fixation du siège pourrait causer un court circuit qui ferait sauter le fusible du circuit. Si cela se produisait, le coussin gonflable du passager serait incapable de se déployer lors d'un accident, ce qui pourrait augmenter les blessures du passager. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, réparer le bris occasionné aux câbles.
