Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. Certain driver frontal airbag modules may have been assembled incorrectly. In the event of a crash warranting deployment of the driver's frontal airbag, the airbag may not completely fill, or the airbag cushion may detach from the airbag module, which would not protect the driver as expected, and could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag.
Lights and instruments
2016-10-12 · campaign 2016-499 · 49 vehicles
Certain vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The headlamps may have been built with an incorrect lens, which fails to meet the replaceable light source marking requirements of the standard. The incorrect lens is also missing optics required to meet the turn signal light output requirements of the standard. Missing lens optics can reduce turn signal visibility to other drivers and pedestrians, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace headlamps as necessary.
