Service bulletin 16-006

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

SERVICE BULLETIN - AN INTERNAL COMPONENT IN THE SRS UNIT MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CORROSION, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN THE SRS UNIT FAILING. IF THE SRS UNIT FAILS, THE SRS INDICATOR COMES ON. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND THE SRS INDICATOR IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SRS UNIT FAILURE, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
