If the seat gets wet, the control module may not properly detect a child car seat secured on the front passenger seat, and the front passenger airbag will not be deactivated as expected. In this case, the airbag light will remain off indicating that the passenger airbag is active. If, despite safety warnings and provincial regulations, a child was placed in a child car seat secured in the passenger front position, the active airbag could deploy in a crash causing potential injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected modules.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":320,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Coussin gonflable","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Certains véhicules ayant des sièges sport en cuir pourraient avoir un codage erroné du module de commande du système de détection d'occupant du véhicule du côté passager avant.
