Recalls

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant detection system, which is calibrated to detect whether the seat is occupied by a small adult or certain ISOFIX child seats, may misinterpret a properly seated small adult as one of these specific child seats and deactivate the front passenger airbag.

This deactivation would be indicated by the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" lamp being lit.

A deactivated passenger airbag would not deploy during a vehicle crash, leaving the seat occupant susceptible to increased injuries.

Correction: Dealers will replace the front passenger seat occupant detection system.
