Transport Canada recall 2016134

29 March 2016

Transport Canada lists: 7 2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the air bag control module housing may contain metallic particles which were left in the module due to a manufacturing process error. These particles could contact components within the module, which could cause a short circuit and briefly render the module inoperative, which could affect deployment of air bags and seatbelt pretensioners in a crash (where deployment is warranted) which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the air bag control module. Note: The short circuit would result in the air bag light illuminating.
