Consumer Description

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT HAS FAILED. THE STEEL PIN WHICH HOLDS THE RESTRAINT IN THE CLOSED/SET POSITION TORE THROUGH THE PLASTIC THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT DEPLOYED, BUT HAS RELEASED BECAUSE OF A MATERIAL FAILURE, AND CAN NOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED, PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, ENGINE OFF, AND THE KEY IN THE HOUSE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE PLASTIC FAILED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE GETTING RANDOMLY PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD, CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD HAVE THE SAME FAILURE AND INJURE MY WIFE.
