Safety Recall: 2010-12 ZDX Incorrect Installation of the Takata Front Passenger’s Airbag Inflator
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Year | Model | Trim | VIN Range |
| 2010-12 | ZDX | ALL | Check the iN VIN status for eligibility. |
BACKGROUND
Some dealers incorrectly installed passenger front airbag inflators under various campaigns to replace the inflators. The incorrect installation of the inflators may have damaged the airbag assembly. Additionally, the airbag may not deploy as designed. If the inspection reveals the inflator is not installed correctly, do not replace only the inflator. If the inflator is incorrectly installed make sure to replace the front passenger’s airbag module assembly.
There are several bulletins with similar years and models. Make sure to do an iN VIN status inquiry and follow the indicated service bulletin.
CLIENT NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory.
Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the client or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the front passenger airbag inflator and, if the inflator is not installed correctly, replace the airbag module assembly.
NOTES
These notes are applicable only when the airbag assembly is replaced:
- Write the serial number and part number from the side of the new replacement front passenger’s airbag module box on the repair order.
- To properly dispose of the original inflator, you must remove it from the airbag module. See REMOVE THE INFLATOR FROM THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG MODULE.
- A new inflator box must be ordered and the original inflator must be returned in the box.
- To return the inflator, follow the shipping instructions outlined in the parts information bulletin B15-0006, Inflator Kit Return Process.
