Customer Safety Information
WARNING:- The side air curtain must be installed in the vehicle using new torque-prevailing type U-nuts, part number w520822. Use of this U-nut is mandatory so as to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury in the event of a side air curtain deployment.
- Anytime the side air curtain has deployed, the headliner, and all A, B, and C pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be replaced along with any other damaged components and hardware. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a side air curtain deployment.
- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. If a vehicle equipped with an SRS system has been involved in a collision in which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, the RCM must be replaced whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- The tightening torque of the restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. Refer to restraints control module (RCM) for correct torque values.
