On certain vehicles, the airbag electronic control unit could be damaged by an electrical fault. This could cause the airbag system not to work properly in a crash. It could also result in a deployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners without a crash.
Airbags that do not work properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Airbags or seat belt pretensioners that deploy without a crash could create a risk of injury and also increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the airbag control module. If an electrical fault is detected, the airbag control module will be replaced.
On certain vehicles, the windshield may not have been properly bonded to the car body. This could allow the glass panel to separate from the vehicle in the event of a crash which would increase the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: Dealers will re-bond the windshield to the car body.
