Η FCA ανακοίνωσε πως προχωρά στην ανάκληση 893.698 αυτοκινήτων της σε όλο τον κόσμο, λόγω προβλημάτων στην ανάπτυξη του αερόσακου, στο σύστημα αντιμπλοκαρίσματος των τροχών, στο σύστημα ESP των Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey και Fiat Freemont.
Η μεγαλύτερη ανάκληση αφορά τα 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee στα οποία ένας ηλεκτρονικός θόρυβος στην μονάδα ελέγχου των μπροστινών και στων πλαϊνών αερόσακων, ενδεχομένως να κάνει τους αερόσακους να ενεργοποιηθούν ακούσια μόνοι τους, με τους προεντατήρες των ζωνών ασφαλείας να ενεργοποιούνται και αυτοί. Η δεύτερη ανάκληση αφορά τα 2012-2015 Dodge Journey και Fiat Freemont στα οποία νερό το οποίο μπορεί να εισέλθει στην πλεξούδα των συστημάτων ABS και ESP, προκαλώντας την απενεργοποίηση των συστημάτων αυτών.
Η Honda από τη μεριά της ανακοίνωσε την ανάκληση 304.000 Accord παραγωγής 2008-2009 στα οποία οι πλευρικοί αερόσακοι μπορούν να αναπτυχθούν ακούσια. Η εταιρία τονίζει πως το συγκεκριμένο πρόβλημα δεν συνδέεται με τους προβληματικούς αερόσακους της Takata ή οποιοδήποτε άλλου κατασκευαστή, μιας και το πρόβλημα έχει εντοπιστεί στο όριο ανάπτυξης πλευρικών συγκρούσεων που υπάρχει στο λογισμικό τους. Ο αερόσακος μπορεί να ενεργοποιηθεί ακόμη και αν κάποιος κλείσει δυνατά την πόρτα.

RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Air Bag Deployment
Report Receipt Date: OCT 19, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V673000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 284,089 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 JEEP LIBERTY 2003 Details
Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
SUMMARY: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured March 29, 2003, to July 3, 2003, and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured May 27, 2003, to May 20, 2004. Due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the air bag electronic control module (ECM), a component in the ECM may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
CONSEQUENCE: Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag electronic control module and the front and/or side impact sensors, as necessary, free of charge. The replacement parts needed for this remedy are not expected to be available until the early part of 2016. Owners will be mailed an interim notification by the end of December 2015 and will be mailed a follow up notification when new air bag control modules are available. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is R60.
NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Statement: Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module
October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 275,614 cross-utility vehicles (CUVs) in the U.S. to apply a moisture sealant and replace, as required, certain electrical components.
An FCA US investigation of warranty repairs discovered electrical components on certain older-model vehicles may be subject to moisture buildup that has potential implications for their Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) modules. Water intrusion may disable the vehicles’ Anti-Lock Braking and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems.
FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The condition, if it occurs, is most often preceded by an instrument-cluster warning light; foundation brake function is unaffected.
The recall is limited to certain 2012-2015 Dodge Journey CUVs. Additional vehicles are affected in other markets. They comprise an estimated 78,148 in Canada and 36,471 in Mexico. Another 151,476 are affected in left-hand-drive non-NAFTA markets where the vehicle is also sold as the Fiat Freemont.
Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed free of charge. FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices.
Service may involve ABS module replacement, wiring repair and/or sealing certain connections to protect against moisture.
Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness to prevent water from entering and will replace the ABS module and repair the headlamp and dash wiring harness, as necessary.

Statement by American Honda Regarding Side Airbag Inadvertent Deployment Recall: 2008-2009 Honda Accord Sedan
Oct 29, 2015 – TORRANCE, Calif.
Side and/or side curtain airbags may inadvertently deploy if the ignition is on and a door is forcefully slammed or there is a significant impact to the vehicle underbody. Issue arises from side impact deployment threshold specification; Not a hardware or supplier issue. Free software update will adjust the deployment threshold.
Honda will voluntarily recall 303,904 model-year 2008-2009 Accord vehicles in the United States to update the side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) software, free of charge. The SRS threshold setting for the side impact sensor is such that with the vehicle ignition on, if there is a strong, non-vehicular collision impact to the lower body of the vehicle or if a door is shut with extreme force, the SRS control unit may interpret the input as a crash and command the side seat airbag and/or side curtain airbag to deploy. Airbags that unexpectedly deploy may increase the risk of injury. Honda has received 19 injury claims related to this issue.
Honda is announcing this recall to encourage each owner of an affected vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to customers will begin in mid-December 2015. Additionally, owners of these vehicles can now determine if their vehicles will require repair by going to http://ift.tt/yYawDI or by calling (888) 234-2138.
