Reason for concern

CURTAIN AIRBAG CYLINDER MAY CORRODE LEADING TO POSSIBLE REAR PASSENGER INJURY

Reason for recall

If the water drain in the area of the panoramic sunroof is not functioning properly water can seep into the vehicle�s headliner. If sufficient water accumulates the foam adjacent to the pressure cylinder of the curtain airbag can become wet and cause the pressure cylinder to corrode. The corrosion can weaken the cylinder causing sudden pressure release possibly with fragments.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check for water seepage and the drainage is correct from the panoramic sunroof area. Check the pressure cylinders for corrosion treat with anti-corrosion wax or replace as necessary. Remove foam which is next to the pressure cylinder.
