Safety Recall P67 / NHTSA 14V-643
Occupant Restraint Control Module
Models
NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles built through June 28, 2014 (MDH 062813).
| IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. |
Subject
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module on about 125,500 of the above vehicles may develop an internal fault. A coating on the ORC module printed circuit boards may have been improperly applied during the manufacturing process. If the coating was applied incorrectly, lead salts may form and cause a resistive short across the ORC module printed circuit board(s). Atmospheric humidity may increase the potential for this condition. This could cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate and potentially disable the passive restraint system. This could cause an increased risk of injury during certain crash conditions.
Repair
The ORC module must be replaced on all involved vehicles.
Parts Information
| Part Number | Description |
|---|---|
| CBP1P673AA No products found. | Module, ORC (WK models with sales code YAB) |
| CBP1P674AA No products found. | Module, ORC (WK models without sales code YAB) |
| CBP1P675AA No products found. | Module, ORC (all WD models) |
Each dealer to whom vehicles in the recall were assigned will receive enough ORC modules to service about 20% of those vehicles.
Special Tools
The following special tools are required to perform this repair:

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module service. The ORC module may contain a rollover sensor, which enables the system to deploy the side SRS components in the event of a vehicle rollover event. If an ORC module containing a rollover sensor is accidentally rolled during service while still connected to battery power, the side SRS components will deploy. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the ORC module, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The ORC module contains the impact sensor, which enables the system to deploy the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an ORC module is accidentally dropped during service, the module must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper SRS component deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery (Figure 8). Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
Figure 8 – Disconnect Negative Battery Cable
- Disconnect the instrument panel and body wire harness electrical connectors from the ORC module.
NOTE: To disconnect the wire harness electrical connectors from the ORC module, depress the release tab and lift the lever arm to the fully open position on each electrical connector (Figure 9).
NOTE: Disconnecting the smaller electrical connector first will allow easier access for disconnecting the large electrical connector.
Figure 9 – ORC Module Yellow Electrical Connectors
- Remove and save the two bolts and one nut that secure the ORC module to the vehicle.
- Remove and discard the original ORC module from the vehicle (Figure 10).
CAUTION: Do not remove the metal plate located under the ORC module (Figure 10).
- Carefully position the new ORC module onto the weld stud at the right front corner of the ORC module.
Figure 10 – ORC Module
