- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2019308
- Manufacturer's number: 69Z4
- Reported: 2019\-06\-19
- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 15723

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, there could be a loose wiring connection for the passenger occupant detection system \(PODS\). This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger\-front airbag even though the seat may be occupied. Note: This problem would cause an error message to display on the instrument panel and a warning chime to sound. The airbag indicator light would also display "passenger airbag off".

Safety Risk:

An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install a new connector for the passenger occupant detection system. The wiring will also be re\-routed under the seat.
