What are the defects?
On affected vehicles, if the water drain in the area of the panoramic sunroof is not functioning properly, water can seep into the vehicle’s headliner.
What are the hazards?
If enough moisture accumulates, the foam adjacent to the gas generator of the curtain airbag can become wet. This can cause corrosion on the gas generator, which could cause the pressure cylinder of the curtain airbag to burst.
