SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The front seat back pad mould (seat back cushion) and side airbag (SAB) are fitted to the seat back frame. The SAB is fitted underneath the pad mould and the pad mould has been designed with a slit that allows the SAB to deploy from underneath the pad mould. Seat back pad moulds that were supplied for after-sales use were not manufactured correctly; the slit process was not completed. When a front seat pad without the slit is assembled to the car it may block SAB deployment and may not satisfy occupant protection performance which is a non-conformance to side impact regulation.
Registered owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification letter that will ask them to take their vehicles to a dealership or authorised repairer for a free repair. The technician will carry out inspection to verify the condition of the front seat back pad mould and will replace the pad mould and if necessary the seat heater element and seat back cover.
PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The propellant used in certain air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material possibly causing severe injury to the vehicle occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator unit.

AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the passenger's air bag inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment
On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the passenger's air bag module.

On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the passenger's air bag module.
POSSIBLE WHEEL LOCK WHEN ABS ACTIVATED
Due to a manufacturing a check valve in the Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator not operate correctly.The anti lock braking may not operate correctly resulting in possible wheel lock under anti lock braking operation. In addition the City Brake Active system (CTBA) may not operate as intended.
On affected vehicles replace Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger front air bag module.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality.

On affected vehicles replace the passenger front air bag module.
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
A filter in the Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator may break and foul one of the one-way check valves in the modulator. If the check valve does not operate correctly the vehicle stability control (using brake pressure) will not operate correctly. In some driving conditions the vehicle stability system may not be able to control the vehicle as intended and this may result in a skid or loss of vehicle control. The braking system does not lose function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the VSA modulator.
