Recall 2016214

The issue

*** This notice is provided for information purposes only as the subject equipment is not regulated under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act *** Certain Mopar canvas seat covers, sold as aftermarket parts, may not be compatible with vehicles equipped with seat thorax airbags and could impede deployment. This could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a side impact crash where seat thorax airbag deployment is warranted. Correction: FCA Canada will notify owners who may have purchased the Mopar Canvas Seat Covers, and advise them to remove the covers and return them for a refund.

Description (français)

*** Le présent avis n’est donné qu’à titre informatif, car l’équipement touché n’est pas visé par la Loi sur la sécurité automobile. *** Certaines housses de siège en toile Mopar vendues comme composants de rechange ne seraient pas compatibles avec des véhicules dotés de coussins gonflables de thorax. Cela pourraient nuire au gonflement de ces derniers et accroître les risques de blessure des occupants lors d’une collision latérale devant entraîner le déclenchement des coussins. Correction : FCA Canada signalera le problème aux consommateurs potentiellement concernés et leur demandera de retirer les housses, afin qu’ils les retournent et soient remboursés.
