Product

Vehicles: FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES FIORINO. Units affected: 2

Reason

The driver�s airbag was manufactured with an incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiator that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a �non-deployment� of the driver airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment which could increase the risk of injury. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver airbag unit (initiator included) with a quality assured unit.
