733 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles, the airbag control module may not properly classify an out of position front passenger seat occupant. In the event of a crash, the airbag could deploy the front passenger airbag with more force than required, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will update the airbag control module software.
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury.
No risk description available.

On certain vehicles, the airbag control module may not be mounted properly. As a result, the airbag may not inflate in a crash, or it could inflate suddenly while driving.
An airbag that does not inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Additionally, an airbag that inflates suddenly while driving could increase the risk of injury or a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to replace the airbag control module.
On certain trucks, the side curtain airbag inflators could be defective. As a result, the driver and/or passenger side curtain airbag inflator(s) could rupture unexpectedly.

On certain trucks, the side curtain airbag inflators could be defective. As a result, the driver and/or passenger side curtain airbag inflator(s) could deploy without a crash. If this happens, parts could be propelled toward vehicle occupants.
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury.
General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace both side curtain airbag modules.
On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the front driver air bag module.
On certain vehicles, the rear grab rail brackets may not have been manufactured to design specifications. In the event of a collision, they could interfere with side curtain airbag deployment and could result in a rear-seat occupant not receiving the intended protection from the side curtain airbag, increasing the risk of injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rear grab rail bracket with one that has felt applied to prevent a puncture of the side curtain airbag.
Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of CMVSS no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact." In the event of a crash in which the air bags do not deploy, there is a possibility of increased head injury to the front seat passenger should contact with the passenger side air bag cover occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install new energy absorbing air bag mounting brackets.
On certain vehicles, the driver airbag squib wires on the steering column control module (SCCM) may be reversed. As a result, the driver airbag may not deploy as intended which can increase the risk of driver injury or death during a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the SCCM.
On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag(s) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the airbag(s) may not inflate properly in a crash.
A side curtain airbag that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the side curtain airbag(s), as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the passenger frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a new, non-ammonium-nitrate-based inflator.
On certain vehicles, airbag wiring connectors located in the front seats may become disconnected, illuminating the airbag warning light. If the airbag light illuminates, the seat side airbags may not deploy in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will increase the clearance around the connectors.
On certain vehicles, a defect in the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) system could result in inadvertent airbag / seatbelt pretensioner deployment, or prevent airbags / seatbelt pretensioners from deploying when warranted. Unintended airbag / seatbelt pretensioner deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, and could result in a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Furthermore, failure of the airbags / seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash when warranted could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module.
On certain vehicles, a defect in the seatback adjustment mechanism of the front seats could allow seatback(s) to move out of position in a severe impact, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant(s).
No risk description available.
Dealers will re-align and re-tighten the seatback mechanisms.
On certain trucks, the side curtain airbag inflators may be defective. As a result, the driver and/or passenger side curtain airbag inflator(s) could rupture unexpectedly and metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants. Note: This recall also affects certain 2016 model year RAM 3500 chassis cab incomplete vehicles.
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury.
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the affected side curtain airbag(s).
On certain vehicles, the driver occupant restraint system does not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 208 - Occupant Crash Protection. The manufacturer changed the driver restraint system to utilize a common driver airbag with other Dodge vehicle applications. This change required a modification to the occupant restraint control module calibration. The change was not properly coordinated and a small number of vehicles were built with the improper combination of driver airbag and airbag control module.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the occupant restraint control module.
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with side airbag inflators (located in the front seat backrests) that do not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags to fail to deploy properly in the event of a lateral crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace affected airbag modules.
On certain vehicles, the front passenger side curtain airbag electrical connector may have been damaged at time of assembly, which could illuminate the airbag warning lamp and potentially deactivate the airbag. Failure of the front passenger side curtain airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the connector and affect repairs as necessary.
