The sensors classify the weight of the occupant and activate or deactivate the front passenger airbag accordingly. Additionally, the sensors are used to detect certain vehicle collisions. Due to the current collision detection thresholds, the system may interpret certain occupant seating usages or road conditions as a rear collision and illuminate the Airbag Warning light and ?AIR BAG OFF? indicator, disabling the front passenger air bag. Additional information may be found in the attached dealer letter, Lexus Q&A and customer notification letter.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10134174-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10134174-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10134174","components":[{"id":"air-bags","name":"Air bags","parent":null},{"id":"seats","name":"Seats","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"LEXUS","model":"GS 350","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"LEXUS","model":"GS HYBRID","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
