Seat Alhambra: Passenger Airbag May Not Deploy As Intended

Certain SEAT Alhambra vehicles may have a defective front passenger airbag module where the internal connection between the detonator and generator is inadequate, which could prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash. The issue affects 24 vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom. The manufacturer will replace the faulty airbag module with a correctly manufactured one.
