2018 Bugatti Chiron recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
Bugatti is recalling certain 2018 Chiron vehicles. 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."
💥 The risk
If the air bag deployment performance is reduced, it can increase the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Bugatti will notify owners, and dealers will remove the affected seats to repair or replace them, free of charge. The recall began July 26, 2018. Owners may contact Bugatti customer service at 1-805-557-1050.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
