- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)

- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 53774

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, installing a child seat in the front passenger seat could deform the seat belt bracket. This could cause the occupant classification system \(OCS\) sensor to fail to detect the installed child seat. In the event of a crash, the airbag would not be suppressed which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reinforce the seatbelt bracket and update both the air bag control unit and electronic control unit.
