Certain vehicles may experience front passenger side curtain and/or seat airbag inadvertent deployments, due to a resonance at the rear quarter panel sensor that can be aggravated by aftermarket installed roof racks & associated ladders/equipment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module software.
