AIR BAGS |
|
Summary |
ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES, DUE TO
IMPROPER
ASSEMBLY OF THE
AIR BAG
INFLATOR, WHICH
IS USED IN THE
SIDE AIR BAG,
THE CURTAIN
SHIELD AIR BAG,
AND THE KNEE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY,
SOME INFLATORS
WERE PRODUCED
WITH AN
INSUFFICIENT
AMOUNT OF THE
HEATING AGENTS
NECESSARY FOR
PROPER AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT. IN
THIS CONDITION,
THE EXPANSION
FORCE OF THE GAS
MAY BE
INSUFFICIENT TO
PROPERLY INFLATE
THE AIR BAG WHEN
THE SRS SYSTEM
IS ACTIVATED
DURING A CRASH. |
|
Consequence |
THIS MAY
INCREASE THE
RISK OF INJURY
TO THE OCCUPANT
IN THE INVOLVED
SEATING POSITION
IN THE EVENT OF
A CRASH. |
|
Remedy |
DEALERS WILL
REPLACE THE
SPECIFIC SRS AIR
BAG. THE RECALL

|
|

PLACED IN THE

THEREBY
INCREASING THE
RISK OF VEHICLE
ROLL-AWAY, WHICH
COULD RESULT IN

|
Summary |
ON CERTAIN

VEHICLES, THE
IMPELLER INSIDE
THE FUEL PUMP
MAY HAVE BEEN
IMPROPERLY

ERROR. ALCOHOL
IN SOME FUELS
MAY DEFORM THE

CAUSE IT TO COME
INTO CONTACT
WITH THE PUMP

|
|
Consequence |
THIS CONDITION
COULD INCREASE
THE ROTATIONAL
