This will cause warning lights for ABS, brake and the ESC systems to illuminate.  If this happens, the brake system related vehicle stabilizing functions (ABS/ESC) may not be available, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control and could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the ABS control module with improved diagnostic capability to detect insufficient PCU ground connection.  ABS modules with insufficient ground connections will be replaced.","mfr_campaign":"45F2 / 45F5","units":12205,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["RABBIT"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2016629"},{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2016064","date":"2016-02-09","manufacturer":null,"component":"Airbag","summary":"On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury.

Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.
