For scale, 2,503 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 11 months.
Defect
The airbag control unit contains an improperly designed startup program. If the vehicle crosses a road irregularity immediately after engine start on rough terrain, the rollover detection sensor's zero-point calibration may shift. This can cause the system to incorrectly identify normal vehicle lean as a rollover event, triggering inadvertent deployment of the curtain airbag and seat belt pretensioner.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the airbag control unit with one containing a corrected system startup program.
