On certain vehicles, the passenger sensing system may fail to detect a small adult occupying the right front seat due to an error in seat sensor calibration. In the event of a crash severe enough to activate the airbags, the front passenger airbag may not deploy. This could increase the occupant's risk of injury. In addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child. In the event of a crash, the front airbag could deploy and the child could be killed or seriously injured by the airbag. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the seat's electronic control unit (ECU).
Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 212 - Windshield Mounting. The windshield, liftgate glass and side stationary glass may not be properly secured to the vehicle body due to incorrect primer used during glass installation process. As a result, the windshield may not be retained during a frontal crash or rollover. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield, liftgate glass and side stationary glass.
