- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the passenger occupant detection system \(PODS\) may malfunction. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger\-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. 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 cable ties on the wiring harness under the front passenger seat.
