Cadillac SRX: Airbag

Affects Cadillac SRX · 2011 — about 3K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the Passenger Sensing System (PSS) will turn OFF the right side roof-rail airbag, in some crashes, if the PSS senses the right front seat is not occupied. This differs from the information detailed in the owner's manual. Although the vehicle meets prescribed Standards for side impact protection, failure of the right side roof-rail airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injuries to the right rear seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Sensing and Diagnostic Module
