The issue
On certain vehicles, the inflator diffuser installed in certain side curtain air bag modules may not have been manufactured correctly. If the vehicle were involved in a crash that warranted side curtain airbag deployment, this could potentially lead to the diffuser detaching. If the diffuser were to detach, it could become a projectile in the occupant compartment, which could result in the side curtain airbag to not fully inflate. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the side curtain air bag modules.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le diffuseur du système de gonflage posé dans certains modules de rideau gonflable pourrait ne pas avoir été fabriqué correctement. Si le véhicule avait un accident qui justifiait le déploiement des rideaux gonflables, cela pourrait causer le détachement du diffuseur. Si le diffuseur se détachait, il pourrait devenir un projectile dans l'habitacle, ce qui pourrait faire en sorte que le rideau gonflable ne se gonfle pas totalement. Ces deux conditions pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures lors d'un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les modules de rideau gonflable.
