PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant or in a thermal issue in the interior compartment which may lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible moisture or other fluids may enter the drivers window and contaminate the main power window switch. If this occurs and the switch is damaged it could overheat and cause it to melt and/or smoke. If this situation is not identified it could result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the switch. If the switch is not damaged a waterproof cover will be fitted. If the switch is damaged it will be replaced and a waterproof cover will be fitted.
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
Tension from the combination switch wiring harness can cause a small amount of movement when the combination switch is operated. Over time the low beam terminal can become worn leading to poor electrical continuity. Ultimately this may cause the low beam headlights to fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the low beam terminal harness and where necessary the lighting switch.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY FAIL
The cruise control may fail to disengage due to faults in the engine management controller software. If these faults persist the cruise control function will be inoperative.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the water pump pulley bolts with modified bolts.
