Renault Trafic III (2022–2023)
What the hazard is
If vehicle occupants are sitting inside the vehicle when the airbags are inadvertently deployed, it may result in serious injury.
What to do
RVDA will contact affected owners by mail, asking them to contact their nearest authorised dealership to have the work carried out free of charge. Note: RVDA recommends that drivers and/or passengers should be mindful when closing the doors and not use excessive force.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing issue with the side airbag mounting sensors, forceful closing of the driver or passenger door may cause unintended vibration of the mounting frame. If this occurs, the side airbags may inadvertently deploy.
