The issue
Certain vehicles may have been fitted with an incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) module. An incorrect OCS module would impair the effectiveness of the OCS, potentially failing to properly classify an adult passenger seated in the front passenger seat. This could increase the risk of injury to the occupant in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace and update the OCS module.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules pourraient avoir été dotés du mauvais module de classification de l'occupant, ce qui pourrait nuire à l'efficacité de ce dernier car il pourrait mal déterminer la présence d'un adulte sur le siège du passager avant. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures de l'occupant lors d'une collision. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent remplacer et mettre à jour le module de classification de l'occupant.
