Braun Corporation seat covers may have been incorrectly installed with the driver seat cover on the passenger seat and vice versa and will have an 'SRS airbag' label located on the inboard seat bolster.
The short version
Braun Corporation reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat covers may have been incorrectly installed with the driver seat cover on the passenger seat and vice versa and will have an 'SRS AIRBAG' label located on the inboard seat bolster.
The seat covers were built with special stitching on one side to permit side airbag deployment from the seat bolster. If the seat covers are installed on the incorrect seats, the seat cover will not allow side airbag deployment during a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.
Braun will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the installation of the seat covers as needed, free of charge.
