{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2018707","date":"2018-12-13","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Airbag","summary":"On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module.<br><br>\n\nNote: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Vehicles may have had the original front passenger airbag module replaced as a \"like-for-like\" replacement under recall 2015-272 (GM Recall #14491) as a temporary remedy while evaluating a permanent remedy. These vehicles will receive the permanent remedy passenger airbag assembly under this recall.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"18015","part_number":null,"units":29827,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Coussin gonflable","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, une exposition à long terme à une température et à une humidité absolues élevées combinée à un cycle thermique élevé pourrait finir par dégrader le propulsif contenu dans le coussin gonflable frontal du passager. Cela pourrait faire en sorte que le coussin gonflable se déploie avec plus de force qu'à la normale. En conséquence, si le véhicule avait une collision qui nécessitait un déploiement du coussin gonflable, des fragments pourraient être propulsés vers les occupants du véhicule, et le coussin gonflable pourrait être endommagé, ce qui l'empêcherait de fonctionner adéquatement. Ces problèmes pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le module de coussin gonflable frontal du passager. <br><br>\n\nNota : Le climat canadien fait en sorte que le propulsif se dégrade lentement. Le rappel est effectué à titre préventif pour éliminer les risques à venir; on s'attend à ce que les dispositifs de gonflage de consin gonflable soient remplacés avant que leur fonctionnement ne soit touché. Le module de coussin gonflable du passager avant d'origine pourrait avoir été remplacé par un pareil dans le cadre du rappel 2015-272 (rappel GM 14491) comme mesure temporaire pendant la recherche d'une solution permanente.
