Buick Allure: Airbag

Affects Buick Allure · 2007 — about 286 vehicles.

The hazard

In order to meet government NCAP crash testing standards, changes to the side impact protection system were recently introduced into production. These changes could cause the wiring harness that sends the signal to inflate the side impact airbag to become damaged. Under certain crash conditions, the side impact airbag may not deploy. Correction: Dealers will install a revised wiring harness that provides a more protected path for the wires.
