- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2015445
- Manufacturer's number: 69L6
- Reported: 2015\-10\-05
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 356

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an electro\-magnetic coil inside the Passenger Occupant Detection System \(PODS\) control module was manufactured with improper insulation between the coil layer.  This could result in the failure of the PODS control module, or misclassification of the front passenger seat occupant, which could prevent proper passenger airbag deployment during a crash where deployment is warranted, potentially increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the PODS control module.  Note: Should this occur, vehicle occupants would be alerted of a problem by the airbag monitoring light illuminating or by a false indication of the Passenger Airbag OFF indicator.
