Cadillac's air bag sensors need reprogramming
What: 2011 Cadillac SRX
Why: Vehicles fail to confirm to the requirements of the federal motor vehicle safety standard No. 208, "occupant crash protection." Air bags are programmed to turn off on the right side roof-rail air bag if the passenger sensing system determines that the right front passenger seat is unoccupied. The right rear occupant may not be protected and suffer injuries in certain frontal and side crashes.
What to do: Dealers will reprogram the sensing and diagnostic module free of charge. For more information, call Cadillac at 866-982-2339.
