What the notice says today
The defect
The side curtain airbag may not fully unplug when activated. (Dutch: De zijgordijnairbag kan bij activering mogelijk niet volledig ontplooien.)
The consequence
This may cause the side curtain airbag to provide insufficient protection and may loosen the B-style coating while the airbag is activated and affect passengers, increasing the risk of injury. (Dutch: Hierdoor biedt de zijgordijnairbag mogelijk onvoldoende bescherming en kan de bekleding van de B-stijl tijdens het activeren van de airbag losraken en inzittenden raken, waardoor het risico op letsel toeneemt.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact the brand dealer, who will replace the relevant b-style clothing. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met de merkdealer. Deze zal de de betreffende bekleding op de b-stijl vervangen.)
