PROBLEM: On certain vehicles equipped with an occupant classification system (OCS) the right front seat of the vehicle may misclassify certain small children seated on the front edge of the seat as an adult.
The possibility of misclassification of certain small children as an adult may allow the right front airbag to deploy in a frontal collision crash or the side impact airbag to deploy in a side collision crash; severe injury or death could occur. Dealers will ensure that the vehicle's OCS will properly classify certain small children when seated on the front edge of the seat and will disable the right front airbags. Dealers will reprogram the vehicle's OCS electronic control unit to provide an increased margin for recognition of certain small children.

On vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it also could result in loss of power brake assist and increased braking effort would be required. If the power steering fluid spray were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur. Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 30, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V458000

WASHINGTON - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued the following vehicle recalls since Sept. 1, 2005:
NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 13, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V399000OEM MAKE & MODELS: 2000 to 2002 Saab 9-3 and 9-5NUMBER OF POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED: 103,202OEM RECALL NUMBER: Saab Recall No. 05087OEM SCHEDULED RECALL DATE: Still pending manufacturer owner notification schedule.PROBLEM: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with B205/B235 four-cylinder gasoline engines and B308 six-cylinder gasoline engines may experience overheating and burnout of the isolated gated bipolar transistor (IGBT) within the ignition discharge module (IDM) due to increased susceptibility to electrical loads. Overheating of the IGBT occurs most often at engine start-up, but it may also occur while the engine is running. Engine stalling may occur, which could result in a crash.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 13, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V409000OEM MAKE & MODEL: 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor and GallantNUMBER OF POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED: 2,901OEM RECALL NUMBER: UnavailableOEM SCHEDULED RECALL DATE: Still pending manufacturer owner notification schedule.PROBLEM: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, the brake master cylinder, which controls the fluid pressure to the vehicle's brakes, may allow brake fluid to bypass internally during stopping. This may result in a partial loss of braking and increased stopping distances; it also could lead to a vehicle crash.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 16, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V412000OEM MAKE & MODELS: 2006 Mazda5 SUVNUMBER OF POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED: 7,000OEM RECALL NUMBER: Unavailable.OEM SCHEDULED RECALL DATE: Owners are asked to contact their dealer.PROBLEM: On certain sport utility vehicles, a buildup of heat in the exhaust system can occur. This condition could result in a fire.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 16, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V413000OEM MAKE & MODEL: 2005 Saleen S281 SuperchargedNUMBER OF POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED: 339OEM RECALL NUMBER: Unavailable.OEM SCHEDULED RECALL DATE: September 2005. PROBLEM: On certain passenger vehicles, the bolts used to fasten the hood latch and hinges to the fiberglass body of the hood can become loose. The hood may become loose and/or separate from its latch and/or hinge(s) while driving, which could result in a crash.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 20, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V431000OEM MAKE & MODELS: 2004 to 2005 Kia Spectra LDNUMBER OF POTENTIAL VEHICLES AFFECTED: 73,641OEM RECALL NUMBER: Kia Recall No. SC-053OEM SCHEDULED RECALL DATE: October 2005. PROBLEM: On certain vehicles equipped with an advanced air bag feature, the occupant classification system (OCS) installed in the right front seat of the vehicle may misclassify a child restraint seat (CRS) as an adult. This may occur if the CRS is installed after an adult has been seated in the right front seat and if there has not been a "key on/key off" cycle with the right front passenger seat empty prior to installation of the CRS. The possibility of misclassification of a CRS as an adult may allow the right front airbag or side impact airbag to deploy in a crash and could result in injury to the right front occupant. Dealers will reprogram the vehicle's OCS electronic control unit (ECU) to remove the feature that may cause the CRS to be recognized as an adult.NHTSA RECALL DATE: Sept. 30, 2005NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V450000OEM MAKE & MODEL: 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
