Safety timeline
Full timeline- Recall
An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
- Recall
If the coil antenna generates excessive heat, there is an increased risk of a fire.
- Recall
Because the switch is not recessed, the roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed resulting in unintended auto-closure of the roof panel, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Recall
If the bracket fractures, the driver would not be able to apply the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
