The problem

BCS Automotive Interface Solutions US, Ltd. (BCS Automotive) submitted a non-compliance information report based upon the recall determinations made by Ford Motor Company (23V-847) and Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) (24V-199). Certain steering column control modules (SCCM) installed into vehicles have electrical functions that may fail and deactivate the driver's air bag. As such, vehicles with certain SCCMs installed fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

The risk

A deactivated air bag cannot deploy as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

The affected vehicle manufacturers will determine the appropriate remedy for their vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers were notified November 8, 2023.
