Issue

On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) controller could result in the inadvertent deployment of SRS components, such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, or could cause these components to fail to deploy in a crash where deployment is warranted. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner, airbag or other deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could result in minor injuries and could also startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash. Additionally, failure of the SRS components to deploy in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS control unit. Note: This condition would cause the illumination of the SRS warning light.
