Service bulletin A15-013

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.

NHTSA's summary

"SERVICE BULLETIN - ELECTRICAL NOISE (INTERFERENCE) GENERATED BY THE VEHICLE MAY INADVERTENTLY CAUSE SOME OR ALL OF THE VEHICLE’S AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. MANY VEHICLES HAD AN ELECTRICAL NOISE SUPPRESSOR INSTALLED UNDER S/B 13-088, SAFETY RECALL: ELECTRICAL NOISE MAY CAUSE INADVERTENT FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN RARE CASES, EVEN WITH THE NOISE SUPPRESSOR INSTALLED, SOME FRONT AIRBAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. NOTE: IF THE VIN STATUS INQUIRY INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO ANY OPEN SAFETY RECALLS, INCLUDING AN AIRBAG INFLATOR CAMPAIGN/RECALL, MAKE SURE TO ALSO COMPLETE THOSE RECALL REPAIRS BEFORE RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE CUSTOMER. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE ANY OPEN RECALL, ADVISE THE CUSTOMER OF THE RECALL STATUS AND WHEN THE RECALL MAY BE COMPLETED."
