The owner's manual for certain vehicles was printed without the CMVSS 208 required information explaining that no objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is involved in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. Correction: Owners will be provided with an owner's manual insert containing the required airbag information.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2009208.
