Bugatti heat shield for the gas generator for the side air bags may have been incorrectly installed during the air bag manufacturing process, potentially reducing the performance of the air bag.
The short version
Bugatti reported a problem with the air bags side/window. Here is what owners need to know.
The heat shield for the gas generator for the side air bags may have been incorrectly installed during the air bag manufacturing process, potentially reducing the performance of the air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
If the air bag deployment performance is reduced, it can increase the risk of injury.
Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will remove the affected seats to repair or replace them, free of charge.
