Recall 2017336

The issue

On certain vehicles, an electrical short could occur in the steering wheel wiring harness, which could result in an inadvertent deployment of the driver frontal airbag. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel wiring and replace it as necessary. A protective covering will also be installed on the wiring harness.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un court-circuit pourrait se produire au niveau du faisceau de câbles du volant et causer le déploiement accidentel du coussin gonflable du conducteur. Un tel déploiement accidentel lorsque cela n'est pas justifié (sans impact) pourrait surprendre le conducteur et causer un accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux) et, dans certains cas, pourrait causer des blessures mineures aux occupants du véhicule. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le faisceau de câbles du volant et le remplacer au besoin. Le faisceau de câbles devra également être recouvert d'un revêtement protecteur.
