## What is wrong

Certain Roadster\(convertible\) models may have been built with incorrect software in the airbag control unit, and may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 208 \- Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. In the event of a lower speed crash, this could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than necessary, which could increase the risk of injury for an out\-of\-position passenger. Correction: Dealers will update and correct the airbag control unit software.
