Recall 2016160

The issue

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The front passenger seat's occupant classification system (OCS) may not have been calibrated properly during the manufacturing process. This could result in the non-deployment of the front passenger air bag and the front passenger knee airbag, which would increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a crash where airbag deployment is warranted. Correction: Dealers will re-calibrate the occupant classification system.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules pourraient ne pas satisfaire aux exigences de la norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 208 - Protection des occupants en cas de collision frontale. Le système de classification de l'occupant du siège passager avant pourrait avoir été mal étalonné lors de la construction. Par conséquent, le coussin gonflable et le coussin gonflable pour genoux du passager avant pourraient ne pas se déployer, ce qui augmenterait les risques de blessures pour la personne assise sur le siège en cas d'accident lors duquel le déploiement des coussins gonflables est nécessaire. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront réétalonner le système de classification de l'occupant.
