Service bulletin N182188910

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

N182188910 - Special Coverage. On some 2017 model year Buick Verano vehicles, the Passenger Presence Sensor (PPS) Module wire may have been pinched in the seat trim during seat assembly or servicing. If the wire is pinched Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B0074 (0D or 0E) may intermittently set along with the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) setting B0081 (00). The fault and symptoms may be intermittent. When the fault is active the Passenger Frontal Airbag is suppressed. The Service Airbag System telltale is illuminated, the Service Airbag System message is displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC), and Front Passenger Airbag Status indicator will display OFF. If there was an active fault condition at the time the front passenger airbag was commanded to deploy, the airbag would not deploy. Dealers are to replace the Passenger Presence Module. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
