Safety Recall: OPDS Seat-Back Sensor
(Supersedes preliminary service bulletin 04-062, dated November 2, 2004)
Updated information is shown with asterisks and black bars.
BACKGROUND
On some 2005 CR-Vs produced in England,* the OPDS side sensor is not installed in the correct position and may fail to shut off the passenger's side airbag if the occupant is out-of-position. In a side collision, such an out-of-position occupant may be injured by a deploying side airbag.
* 2005 CR-Vs produced in Japan (VIN begins with 'HL') are not affected by this campaign.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be mailed a *notification of this recall campaign. An example of the customer notification is shown in this service bulletin.*
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ *The customer has a notification letter.*
^ The vehicle is shown on your campaign responsibility report.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on an iN VIN status inquiry.
*In addition to these verification items, check for a punch mark above the first character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this safety recall campaign has already been completed.*
Many vehicles affected by this recall are in your new vehicle inventory and some are still in transit to you. According to federal law, these vehicles cannot be sold or leased until they are repaired. To see if a vehicle is affected by this recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the front passenger's seat-back pad. (The OPDS sensors are in the pad.)
