Two of the recalls involve the occupant restraint controller being programmed with incorrect software, which can disable the airbags and pretensioners that are meant to protect occupants during a collision. The third involves a front seatbelt buckle switch sensor that may be improperly connected, preventing the front airbag from deploying as intended in a crash.
