Transport Canada recall 1996177

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

DURING DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, THE AIR BAG FABRIC MAY SNAG ON A REINFORCEMENT INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, CAUSING THE EXPANDING BAG TO LIFT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEN DEPLOY UNDER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PAD INSTEAD OF THROUGH THE DOOR IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE REINFORCEMENT MAY ALSO FRACTURE. IN A CRASH, THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER COULD RECEIVE MORE SEVERE INJURIES IF HE OR SHE CONTACTS A BROKEN REINFORCEMENT OR IF THE SNAGGING AFFECTS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE BAG.

CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PADS AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A PLASTIC EDGE PROTECTOR TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PAD REINFORCEMENT. ON CERTAIN EARLY PRODUCTION VEHICLES, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PAD WILL BE REPLACED.
