The issue
On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage, the front Crash Zone Sensor (CZS) may rust internally. This could result in the non-deployment of the driver and passenger front airbags during a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of personal injuries or death in certain crash conditions. Correction: Dealers will replace the Crash Zone Sensor.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules utilisés dans des zones où l'on épand beaucoup de sel routier, le capteur de zone d'impact (crash zone sensor) avant pourrait rouiller par l'intérieur. Cela pourrait faire en sorte que les coussins gonflables avant du conducteur et du passager ne se déploient pas lors d'un accident, ce qui augmente les risques de blessure ou de décès lors de certains accidents. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le capteur de zone d'impact.
