Reported risk: On certain vehicles, the supplementary restraint system (SRS) Electronic Control Unit may cause airbag deployment when it is not necessary to protect front seat occupants. The seasors may detect a sudden deceleration as a result of an impact to the unercarriage or underbody of the vehicle and signal the airbags to deploy. Such an impact might occur if the car travelled over a curb or through a deep pothole at relatively high speed. A deployment of the airbags may result in abrasions to the hands, arms, or face of a properly positioned front seat occupant, or potentially more serious injury to an out of position occupant. Correction: SRS Electronic Control Unit will be replaced.
