21 February 1995

Transport Canada lists: 626 1995

What is wrong

THE PASSENGER SIDE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG) MAY HAVE A CRACKED INFLATOR BODY. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A DEPLOYMENT LEVEL CRASH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAY NOT INFLATE PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN REDUCED OCCUPANT PROTECTION. IN ADDITION, THE IGNITER PLUG COULD SEPARATE FROM THE INFLATOR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF HOT GASES AND COULD IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL OR POTENTIALLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

What the dealer will do

VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND A NEW PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.
