The issue
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection. A defect in the programming of the occupant classification system could limit the seat belt loading to the front passenger seat occupant in a crash, which could result in non-compliance to the standard and increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification module.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules pourraient ne pas se conformer aux exigences de la norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 208 – Protection des occupants en cas de collision frontale. Un défaut dans la programmation du système de classification de l'occupant pourrait limiter la force appliquée à la ceinture de sécurité du passager avant en cas d'accident, ce qui pourrait résulter en un nonrespect de la norme et augmenter les risques de blessures. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront reprogrammer le module de classification de l'occupant.
