Recall 2016196

The issue

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, une défectuosité dans le système de classification de l'occupant pourrait faire en sorte qu'un adulte sur le siège passager avant soit classifié comme un enfant ou un siège vide. Cette erreur désactiverait le coussin gonflable, ce qui augmenterait les risques de blessures en cas d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le module de commande électronique du système de classification de l'occupant.
