Details

On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage, a mixture of snow, water and road-salt solution may infiltrate between the front impact sensor and the bracket that attaches it to the vehicle.

Over time, repeated freezing/thawing cycles could cause a crack to develop in the sensor case allowing water intrusion and short circuit of the sensor.

In the event of a crash, this could result in delayed deployment of the driver and passenger front airbags which would increase the risk of injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the front impact sensor and replace it if it is found to be cracked.

An updated designed bracket and cover will also be installed.
