Each campaign in detail

  1. Rappel : cartouches pyrotechniques des airbags rideaux

    Manufacturer recall

    Un rappel d'octobre 2016 (Caradisiac) concerne les airbags rideaux : une fuite de gaz peut fissurer les cartouches pyrotechniques et gonfler l'airbag partiellement. Fiches-auto cite un rappel de juillet 2016 pour une fuite du gaz de gonflage, sur les modèles produits de 2009 à 2012. Contrôle et réparation par la concession.
