Service bulletin N182201660

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

Special Coverage - on certain vehicles if a driver repeatedly sits on the seat belt cable cover located atthe base of the driver?s seat when entering the vehicle, it may cause the seat belt pretensioner to bend sharply over theseat side shield. If this continues to occur over an extended period of time, which is very rare, the seat belt pretensionercable may fatigue and eventually separate, which could reduce the effectivenessof the driver?s seat belts. Before any damage occurs to the pretensioner cable itself, signs of wear will be visible on thepretensioner cable cover where it has been repeatedly bent over the seat side shield. Dealers are to inspect the driver seat belt lap anchor pretensioner and replace if necessary. The repairs will be made atno charge to the customer.

18207 02	2022-05-31. Service bulletin. Customer Satisfaction. Certain vehicles may have a condition in which the power steering gear motor could separate from the steering gear housing due to corrosion of the attaching bolts. If the motor separates, power steering assist may be reduced or lost, and the driver may experience an unexpected increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. Replace the bolts that attach the electric power steering motor to the steering gear and add a protective wax coating to each bolt and the seam around the electric power steering motor. If the bolts cannot be removed due to corrosion, the steering gear must be replaced. Revised Parts Information

N182191400	2022-02-14. Service bulletin. Customer Satisfaction Program. Certain vehicles, may have a condition in which the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) was reprogrammed during service with the incorrect calibration, which is intended for high performance (HP) vehicles. When the SDM in a non-HP vehicle is programmed with software for an HP-vehicle, the SDM will command the deployment of the 2nd stage airbag inflators in some lower severity frontal crashes. This condition may cause more airbags than necessary to deploy in some low-level crashes. Reprogram the SDM with the non-HP calibration.
