Recall 2014244

The issue

On certain all-wheel-drive vehicles, a loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint can over time result in vibrations of the propeller shaft and these vibrations could be transferred to the rollover sensor located on the floor above it. The signal produced by the vibrations in the rollover sensor may result in an unwarranted deployment of the curtain airbags creating a risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers are to replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules à traction intégrale, une perte de graisse depuis le joint homocinétique central peut causer des vibrations dans l'arbre de transmission au fil du temps. Ces vibrations pourraient être transférées au capteur de tonneaux situé au sol au-dessus de ce dernier. Le signal produit par les vibrations dans le capteur de tonneaux pourrait causer un déploiement injustifié des rideaux gonflables, ce qui poserait un risque de blessures pour les occupants du véhicule. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'arbre de transmission arrière.
