side airbag sensor recall for model years 2015, 2016, 2017
Just found out aboutthis recall this morning when I dropped off my car at the dealer.
The recall was issued November 17 2017
On certain vehicles, a bad connection at the side airbag sensor connector could cause a momentary communication loss from the side airbag sensor to the Airbag Control Unit (ACU). This would put the system in a backup state, lowering the impact threshold required for a side airbag deployment. If a door is being closed with force while the system is in this backup state, this could cause an unintended curtain airbag, seat-mounted side airbag and seat belt pretensioner deployment in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, which would increase the risk of injury to occupants.

Link above for the transport Canada note from November that I didn’t know about.
Letter I received today from corporate said something similar. Just a heads up for you guys. Did a quick search on the forum and didn’t see any information other than the old takata recall.
Tldr. 40k units affected. Airbag harness connector issue, don’t slam the door.
Mods maybe send out a heads up to members in case they don’t get the letter? They can check their vin with their dealer.
Thanks,
