- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2018322
- Manufacturer's number: 18202
- Reported: 2018\-06\-15
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 4

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles that had the front passenger presence system \(PPS\) replaced, the replacement parts may have been incorrectly calibrated. This could cause the PPS not to properly identify certain children and small adults seated in the front passenger seat. If the vehicle was involved in a crash, this could cause the airbag to deploy when it should not, or could cause the airbag not to deploy when it should. Either of these outcomes could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.  Correction: Dealers will replace the front PPS.
