- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2015285
- Manufacturer's number: WQT\-55
- Reported: 2015\-06\-26
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 5182

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Occupant Control Unit \(OCU\) of the ODS \(Occupant Detection System\) may incorrectly identify a front passenger occupant when seated in the front passenger seat if the passenger touches a metal part of the vehicle that is electrically grounded \(i.e. forward/reward seat adjustment lever\)  while using an IPod or cell phone plugged into the accessory power outlet. This may result in the deactivation of the ODS, and cause the Air Bag Warning Light to illuminate and the Passenger Air Bag Indicator would illuminate “OFF”, providing a visual warning that the air bag system is not operating properly. Failure of the passenger frontal airbag to deploy during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.  Correction: Dealers will replace the Occupant Control Unit \(OCU\) with a revised one.
