An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Chevrolet Corvette and others) - Repair. Due to an airbag system and seat belt (airbag control module) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Airbag system and seat belts (airbag control module). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: Due to improper programming of the airbag control module, vibration such as that caused by driving over a curb may activate the module's fault diagnostic function, which may then remain active. Consequently, in a collision, the signals to activate the front airbags and pretensioners may not be transmitted, preventing their activation and potentially causing occupants to sustain excessive injuries. Published 2016-10-13.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2390 ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, reprogram the airbag control module with the corrected program. Alternatively, replace it with a new airbag control module containing the corrected program.
