• After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. Replace the components as needed
• Do not replace the ODS unit (USA and Canada models) unless it is physically damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC troubleshooting because it could complicate troubleshooting other DTCs
