Repairs are to be performed by any McLaren Authorised Retailer regardless of where the vehicle was purchased. Retailers must not refuse to repair a vehicle because it was not purchased from their location. 3. Overview McLaren have launched a voluntary safety recall on the affected vehicles listed in section 6 of this bulletin. This voluntary recall relates to a potential risk that the connection between the driver’s airbag and the occupant restraint controller may not been fully engaged, whereby the connector is connected but the secondary locking tab is not locked. In the event that the connector is connected but the secondary locking mechanism is not locked, it is possible that the airbag warning light may not illuminate even though the airbag is not operational. In the event of an accident, if the connection is not fully engaged, the driver’s airbag may not deploy, which could lead to more severe injuries. 4. Procedure 4.1 Resistance Actual Values Readout To complete the required resistance check, please follow the steps below. — MDS Driver’s Airbag Resistance Actual Values Readout Check (all affected vehicles): Step 1 Connect the MDS to the vehicle and carry out a scan Step2 Select the ORC module and navigate to the Actual Values tab Step3 In the Actual Values tab scroll down and locate the following Actual Values: — Squib_Resistance_AB1FD_Read Image 1 – Driver’s Airbag Connectors (example taken from the Service Information System (SIS)) 3 — Squib_Resistance_AB2FD_Read Step4 Compare each value to the correct resistance tolerance limits stated in the table below: ACTUAL VALUE NAME CORRECT RESISTANCE TOLERANCE LIMITS Squib_Resistance_AB1FD_Read Value must be between 2100 mOhm and 5600 mOhm Squib_Resistance_AB2FD_Read Value must be between 2100 mOhm and 5600 mOhm Step5 If the Squib Resistance values displayed in MDS are within tolerance, take a screenshot of the MDS screen. Ensure the screenshot has captured the values in question clearly, name the file ‘Correct Resistance Values – VIN’ (where VIN is the vehicles VIN) and save it. Open the file to confirm that it is not corrupt. The screenshot will need to be attached to your warranty claim Image 2 – Example Screenshot of MDS Airbag Resistance Actual Value Location — End of MDS Driver’s Airbag Resistance Actual Values Readout Check procedure 4.2 Submitting a Technical Request (TR) Table 1 – Correct Resistance Tolerance Limits 4 If the MDS Airbag Resistance Actual Values Readout Check resulted in values outside of tolerance (not between 2100 mOhm and 5600 mOhm), submit a Technical Request (TR). Please carry out the following: — Immediately submit a TR entitled McLaren GT Driver’s Airbag Resistance Check Failed and select High Priority — Take a screenshot of the MDS screen to capture the incorrect values. Ensure the screenshot has clearly captured the values in question, name the file ‘Incorrect Resistance Values – VIN’ (where VIN is the full vehicle VIN) and save it. Open the file to confirm that it is not corrupt — Follow ‘FA-RM-10N002-01-001 – Remove/Install Airbag – Steering Wheel’ (McLaren GT), on SIS to gain access to the driver’s airbag connectors. Do not fully remove the airbag and do not disconnect the connectors — Without disturbing the connectors take a clear photograph of the condition of the connectors including their locking tabs (secondary locking mechanism) as you found them. Name the photograph ‘Airbag Connectors as found – VIN’ (where VIN is the full vehicle VIN) and save it. Open the photograph to confirm that the file is not corrupt — Attach the following to the TR: 1. The screenshot of the incorrect airbag resistance values 2. The photograph of the airbag connectors to the TR — Await further instructions from the TR, which will be responded to with highest urgency If the TR advises you to proceed with the physical Disconnect – Check – Reconnect procedure of the airbag connectors, please carry out the following: — Physical Driver’s Airbag Disconnect – Check – Reconnect procedure: Step 1 Disconnect the driver’s airbag connectors and visually inspect them for any anomalies, then fully re-connect the connectors. Make sure both stages of the connectors (including secondary locking mechanism) are correctly locked and engaged. The connector may otherwise be installed, but not locked Step 2 Take a clear photograph of the connectors (now with both locking stages fully engaged). Name the photograph ‘Airbag Connectors after full reconnection – VIN’ (where VIN is the full vehicle VIN) and save it. Open the photograph to confirm that the file is not corrupt Step 3 Install the driver’s airbag in reverse order Step 4 Care Point: While working to gain access to the airbag connectors take care not to disturb or alter the condition of assembly of the connectors. Ensure the locking tabs (secondary locking mechanism) of the connectors are not inadvertently pushed in or out whilst gaining access to the area. 5 Re-scan the vehicle with MDS and check the AB1FD and AB2FD Squib Resistance Actual Values again. The Squib Resistance Actual Values must now be within the correct resistance tolerance limits (between 2100 mOhm and 5600 mOhm) as stated in ‘Table 1’(section 3.1, step 4) above Step 5 Take a screenshot of the final values from the MDS screen. Ensure the screenshot has captured the values in question clearly, name the file ‘Final Correct Resistance Values – VIN’ (where VIN is the vehicles VIN) and save it. Open the file to confirm that it is not corrupt. Step 6 Reply to the TR and attach: 1. The photograph of the driver airbag connectors as found when accessed 2. The photograph of the driver airbag connectors after disconnected and fully reconnected ready for driver airbag re-installation 3. The screenshot showing the airbag resistance values within the tolerance limits — End of Physical Driver’s Airbag Connector Disconnect – Check – Reconnect procedure.

OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-103 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : McLaren Automotive Incorporated Submission Date : JUN 29, 2022 NHTSA Recall No. : 22V-103 Manufacturer Recall No. : NR Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : McLaren Automotive Incorporated Address : 1405 S. Beltline Road, Suite 100 Coppell TX 75019 Company phone : 646-429-8916 Population : Number of potentially involved : 421 Estimated percentage with defect : 1 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2019-2021 McLaren GT Vehicle Type : LOW VOLUME VEHICLES Body Style : 2-DOOR Power Train : GAS Descriptive Information : The recall population consists of vehicles with a specific combination of connector and occupant restraint controller. Two other McLaren models use the same combination. However, because the defect appears to be due to an error by a technician on its main production line, McLaren is not recalling models that were built on an entirely separate line and with different build processes. For this latter population, McLaren will continue to monitor the situation through a next service inspection and will take further action if warranted. Production Dates : AUG 27, 2019 – AUG 07, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : SBM22GCA0LW000007 End : SBM22GCB8MW001545 ✔ Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : There is a risk that the connection between the driver airbag and the occupant restraint controller may not been fully engaged, whereby the connector is connected but the secondary locking tab is not locked. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In the event of an accident, if the connection is not fully engaged, the driver airbag may not deploy, which would increase the risk of injury. Description of the Cause : McLaren believes that the most likely cause was operator error on one of the production lines in the McLaren production facility. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The status of the connection between the driver airbag and the occupant restraint controller is validated by a resistance check that can activate the airbag warning light. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-103 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 In line with standard industry practice, in the algorithm used by McLaren, there is a small resistance window to prevent the airbag warning light from constantly flickering ON/OFF. If the connector is not fully engaged, the airbag warning light will come on, which will alert the driver to the existence of a problem. However, in the unlikely event that the connector is connected but the secondary locking is not locked, it is technically possible for the resistance to fall within this resistance window. In this unlikely circumstance, the airbag warning light might not come on even though the airbag is not operational. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Driver’s Airbag Component Description : NR Component Part Number : 13NA409CP Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : In April 2021, a third-party test house undertook some testing for a new McLaren vehicle using the same connector and occupant restraint controller as on the McLaren vehicles subject to this notification. During a development sled test, it was observed that although the connector was engaged, the secondary locking tab was not locked and the airbag warning light was not illuminated. McLaren launched an investigation into this issue. However, at this point McLaren had no indication of any vehicles in the field with this issue. In December 2021 McLaren asked its dealers to check the connection status of vehicles using the same combination of connector and occupant restraint controller as was used on the vehicle that had undergone the development sled test. To date, approximately 300 vehicles have been inspected under this program worldwide. In January 2022, the McLaren warranty team became aware of a vehicle in Germany and a vehicle in California where the respective retailer found the connector to not be fully engaged. On 16 February 2022, McLaren became aware of a vehicle Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-103 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 in the United Kingdom where the retailer found the connector to not be fully engaged. McLaren investigated these cases to determine if the airbags had been connected or disconnected after the vehicle left McLaren’s production facility. On the basis of this investigation, McLaren concluded that the most likely cause was operator error on one of the production lines in the McLaren production facility, and it decided to conduct a safety recall. To the best of McLaren’s knowledge, this condition has not led to any problems in the field. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : McLaren dealers will perform a resistance readout using the McLaren Diagnostic System and compare the values against the correct resistance tolerance limits. If the driver’s airbag resistance values are found to be out of tolerance, a physical check of the airbag connectors will be conducted by removing the driver’s airbag to ensure that the connector is engaged and the secondary tab is locked. Following completion of the physical check and confirmation that the secondary locking tab is engaged, a second reading of the resistance values will be performed to confirm that the connection is proper. Because all of the recalled vehicles are covered by the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty, there is no need to provide a reimbursement plan. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : NR Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : In August 2021, McLaren issued a process change to add a diagnostic check to be performed after airbag assembly to detect any potential operator error Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : NR Planned Dealer Notification Date : MAR 24, 2022 – JUN 24, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : MAR 31, 2022 – JUN 30, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
