Freightliner Cascadia: Airbag
Affects Freightliner Cascadia · 2008 — about 5 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain trucks, the side-roll sensor - designed to detect vehicle pitch and control deployment of the system's seatbelt pretensioner and side airbag - may have been manufactured incorrectly. A failure of the sensor could be interpreted by the side-roll protection system as a vehicle roll, resulting in an inadvertent deployment of the seatbelt pretensioner and lateral airbags. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the side-roll sensor.
