Defect Description:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES
DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE HEAD INJURY CRITERION REQUIREMENTS OF
FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR
IMPACT." THE UPPER RETAINER CLIP NEAR THE BP1 IMPACT
LOCATION IS DESIGNED TO BREAK WHEN IMPACTED BY THE HEAD FORM. IN
SOME CASES, THE MATERIAL OF THE TRIM PART MAY BE MORE IMPACT
RESISTANT AS A RESULT OF VARIATIONS IN THE MOLDING PROCESS.
Consequence of Defect:
THIS CONDITION COULD PREVENT THE CLIP FROM BREAKING ON IMPACT
AND RESULT IN LESS DEFORMATION IN THE IMPACTED AREA AND A HIGHER
DECLERATION OF THE HEAD FORM, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
Corrective Action:
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE TRIM COVER FROM EACH OF THE B PILLARS
AND INSTALL A NEW COVER.
