Recall 2012377

The issue

On certain vehicles, wiring for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) may be damaged when sliding passenger front seat forwards and backwards to adjust the seating position. If this occurs, the airbag light could illuminate and certain front passenger airbags could be deactivated. Wiring damage could also cause the OCS to incorrectly judge occupant type, causing various passenger airbags and seat belt tensioners to be improperly activated during a crash. In the event of a crash, these issues could result in an increased risk of injury and/or damage to property.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le câblage du système de classification de l'occupant pourrait être endommagé lorsque le siège du passager avant est avancé ou reculé. Si le système est endommagé, le voyant du coussin gonflable pourrait s'allumé et certains des coussins gonflables du passager avant pourraient être désactivés. Un câblage endommagé pourrait également faire en sorte que le système de classification juge mal le type d'occupant, ce qui activerait incorrectement les coussins gonflables du passager et les tendeurs de la ceinture de sécurité lors d'une collision. En cas de collision, ces problèmes pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures corporelles et/ou de dommages aux biens.
