Airbag

Details

On certain vehicles, the passenger seat Occupant Classification System may malfunction and could misinterpret a small stature person as a child seat, thereby deactivating the passenger frontal airbag and illuminating the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" warning light.

This could result in the airbag not deploying when warranted in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Note: Within 50 meters of driving distance, the occupant classification system would automatically re-evaluate the occupant classification and correct the issue.

Correction: Dealers will verify the proper operation of the Occupant Classification System, and affect repairs if necessary.
