The defect
Bluecar SAS (Bluecar) is recalling certain 2016 Bluecar vehicles. While driving, the front driver, passenger, and side curtain air bags may deploy without warning and without a crash occurring.
The risk
Unexpected deployment of the air bags without a crash can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
Bluecar has notified the company that owns the vehicles, and the air bag software is being updated, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017. Owners may contact Bluecar customer service at 1-972-757-7251.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
