Tigertough Seat Covers Seat Cover: Air Bags recall
NHTSA campaign 23E058000 · 500 units potentially affected · filed Jul 26, 2023
What's wrong
Sewn Products DBA TigerTough (TigerTough) is recalling certain TigerTough seat covers, models T62213BLK and T62131BLK. The stitching on the seat cover side flap may not break away as intended, causing the side air bag to incorrectly deploy in the event of a crash.
Why it matters
Incorrect air bag deployment can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix
TigerTough will replace the upper section of the seat cover, free of charge. Notification to distributors is expected to begin August 2, 2023. Owners may contact TigerTough customer service at 1-507-246-3545.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
