Issue

Certain vehicles may not comply with the side impact protection requirements of United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 214, which is voluntarily-adopted in Canada. The two weld studs that mount the front and rear side impact airbag (“SIAB”) inflators to the seat frame may fracture and separate during airbag deployment. If the vehicle is involved in a crash that warrants side airbag deployment, and both weld studs were to fracture, the inflated cushion may not remain in its intended position and may separate from the seat, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the affected side airbag modules as necessary, which may include any combination of left, right, front, and/or rear side airbag modules.
