Subject
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) on about 102,837 of the above vehicles may have the incorrect software version. If specific ORC internal faults are active, then a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will not be set and the airbag warning indicator may not illuminate. The internal faults will disable deployment of both the driver and passenger airbag squib (related to airbag venting post deployment) and knee airbags. Reduced occupant protection in the event of a crash may result in an increased risk of injury to motor vehicle occupants.
Repair
The ORC module on involved vehicles must be reprogrammed with new software.
