Recall 01V237000
Air Bags — Europa · reported 20 Jul 2001 · 42 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITHOUT THE PROPER AIR BAG LABELING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER.
The risk
THIS LABEL INFORMS THE FRONT PASSENGER OF THAT SEATING POSITION'S AIR BAG AND THAT CERTAIN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN BY THE SEAT'S OCCUPANT.
The fix
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A "SRS AIR BAG" WARNING LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 25, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT EUROPA AT 1-888-538-7672.
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
