Airbag and Seatbelt System Failures

Multiple recalls target the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module and associated software, which can affect airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment. A short circuit in the OCR module is a primary concern. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $1,200.

Electrical System Gremlins

A high TSB count suggests potential underlying systemic issues, often manifesting as electrical gremlins. These can range from minor sensor faults to more complex module problems. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $800.
