On certain vehicles, an update provided between de 3rd and 5th of December 2016 to the vehicle control unit may have been incorrectly applied. This could affect the proper function of various safety systems such as airbag deployment sequence, seatbelts recognition status, speed limiter setting and others. These conditions could increase the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will update the affected control units.
On certain vehicles, the connections between the upper control arms and the axle stubs may not have been tightened properly during assembly. This could affect steering and directional control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will check the bolt torque connections between the upper control arms and axle stubs and replace the upper control arms if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the calibration of the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may not detect a small statured seat occupant if the occupant is sitting on the edge of the seat and remains stationary for a long period of time. As a result, the passenger frontal airbag may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will update the software of the Occupant Classification System.
