Summary
THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION USED BY THE INTERNAL ACCELERATION SENSOR IN THE SRS-ECU MAY MISINTERPRET VIBRATION CAUSED BY SEVERE ROAD CONDITIONS AND/OR DRIVING ON A FLAT TIRE TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE SRS-ECU. IF THIS OCCURS, THE SRS WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE AND NONE OF THE SEVEN AIRBAGS AVAILABLE IN THE VEHICLE WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

Safety Risk
THE AIRBAGS (FRONTAL/KNEE/SIDE/SIDE CURTAIN) WILL NOT DEPLOY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IN A CRASH.

Remedy
OWNERS OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE NOTIFIED AND ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN TO REPROGRAM THE SRS-ECU SOFTWARE WITH COUNTERMEASURE SOFTWARE. THE REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED AT NO CHARGE TO VEHICLE OWNERS.
