Details

What's wrong: A manufacturing defect within the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit may lead to an inadvertent deployment of the seat belt pretensioner and/or inflatable curtain.

Why it matters: If the seat belt pretensioner and/or inflatable side curtain deploy without cause, the driver could be distracted and the driver's visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: These vehicles have not been sold and the SRS control unit will be replaced prior to the cars being sold.
