- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2018279
- Manufacturer's number: 18179
- Reported: 2018\-05\-25
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 12711

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Sensing Diagnostic Module \(SDM\), which controls the airbag system, may not shut down correctly when the vehicle is turned off. If this happens, the SDM may not work when the vehicle is started, making it unable to detect a crash or deploy the airbags, and increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software to correct this problem. Note: If the SDM is inoperative when the vehicle is started, the airbag warning lamp would illuminate, a “service restraint system” message would be displayed and warning chimes would sound.
