## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the roll angle sensors in the airbag sensor assembly could fail.  If one of the roll angle sensors malfunctions, the airbag warning lamp will illuminate, the roll detection system will be suspended, and the curtain shield airbag will not deploy during a roll\-over crash \(where deployment is warranted\), thereby increasing the risk of personal injuries to the seat occupant.  The airbag system, however, will continue to detect frontal and lateral impacts and, in those instances, will function as designed.  If both roll angle sensors fail nearly simultaneously after starting the vehicle, the curtain shield airbag and the seatbelt pretensioner could inadvertently deploy.  Inadvertent curtain shield airbag deployment in a non\-impact situation may cause damage to the surrounding vehicle environment and create expensive vehicle repair, including replacement of the curtain shield airbag module and the airbag electronic control unit.  In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants.  Correction: Dealers will replace the airbag sensor assembly.
