Repair soon Air bags
Inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation can increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
During a service appointment, the affected vehicles received replacement front passenger seat cushions (which contain integral Capacitive Interior Sensing (CIS) functions). The CIS functions may have been incorrectly calibrated, and if so, would cause impaired occupant classification and thus inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation.
