  1. UNSCHEDULED DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVERS AIR BAG

    R/1997/075 · 26 Nov 1997

    26 Nov 1997

    Defect

    In weather conditions which favour the build up of static electricity the air bag may deploy spontaneously if the driver enters or leaves the vehicle while carrying a high static charge. This can only happen when the car is stationery and not while it is in motion.

    Remedy

    Affected vehicles are being recalled for the installation of an earth cable to the steering wheel to conduct any static charge to earth.
