On certain vehicles, a defect in the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) system could result in unwanted side curtain and seat airbag deployment in off-road events. 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 ORC module software.
