    The software of the airbag control device has been incorrectly programmed. As a consequence, simultaneously switching off the engine and applying the handbrake may unintentionally activate the frontal airbag.

    EU rapid alert system

    • Risk level: 1

    • Rapex alert: A12/0484/19

    • Date of the problem: 22/03/2019

    Owing to retrofitting of the steering wheel, certain vehicles may be equipped with a driver airbag that has a gas generator which could burst in the event of airbag activation if it has been exposed to moisture and heat cycles over time. This may result in metal parts being discharged, which could lead to injury or death of the vehicle occupants.

    EU rapid alert system

    • Risk level: 1

    • Rapex alert: A12/0266/17

    • Date of the problem: 03/03/2017

    If the driver’s airbag is deployed, the inflator might burst if it was subject to high air humidity, high temperatures and substantial temperature fluctuations over a number of years. This may result in the ejection of metal parts, which could cause injury or death to the driver and the passengers.
