What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITHOUT THE PROPER AIR BAG LABELING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER.

The risk

THIS LABEL INFORMS THE FRONT PASSENGER OF THAT SEATING POSITION'S AIR BAG AND THAT CERTAIN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN BY THE SEAT'S OCCUPANT.

The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A "SRS AIR BAG" WARNING LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 25, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT EUROPA AT 1-888-538-7672.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
