- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2012231
- Manufacturer's number: R0075
- Reported: 2012\-07\-24
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety TC

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with an advanced airbag system, the Passive Occupant Detection System \(PODS\), installed in the right front seat of the vehicle, may misclassify a small stature adult as a child and deactivate the passenger frontal airbag.  When the passenger frontal airbag is deactivated, the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” warning lamp will illuminate. This would cause the right front airbag to not inflate in a crash that merits airbag deployment, and may result in injury to the right front seat occupant.  The condition will not affect the driver’s frontal airbag deployment. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the PODS system.
