Crash risk

A part in the passenger seat sensor system may have been made out of specification, which can interrupt the signal to the air bag control unit. If that happens, the passenger air bag could be turned off and fail to protect the passenger in a crash.

Fix: The dealer will test the seat sensor signal with a special tool and replace the seat cushion if needed, at no cost to you.
