| Description of the problem | Passenger seat airbag sensor toggles between active and inactive regardless of weight, or presence of an individual on the seat... With a passenger on it, it will also toggle between active/inactive regardless of the weight of the person (even an adult passenger will disable passenger airbag).. Seems to be historical evidence of this failure and yet recall is not active. There is no certainty at this moment if airbag will be operational in a crash. |
