When a passenger seat occupant sits with a load on the front side for a long time with the seat warmer on, the occupancy sensor becomes dented and sensitive. As a result, the sensor determines that there is an occupant in the front passenger seat even though the seat is empty.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10230901-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10230901-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10230901","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"seat-belts","name":"Seat belts","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MX-5","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_mazda_mx-5","2018_mazda_mx-5","2019_mazda_mx-5"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
