NHTSA recall 18V420000
Air Bags · Bugatti
Details
What's wrong: The heat shield for the gas generator for the side air bags may have been incorrectly installed during the air bag manufacturing process, potentially reducing the performance of the air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 214, "side impact protection."
Why it matters: If the air bag deployment performance is reduced, it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will remove the affected seats to repair or replace them, free of charge. The recall began July 26, 2018.
