Description of the problem	When someone sits in the passenger seat the air bag light used to turn off, now when they sit in the seat the light stays on and the air bag is off and i have an air bag light on in my dash. Took the vehicle to my mechanic and his software shows a recall but kia says no recall on my vehicle. His software says restraints and safety system: recalls campaign - seat occupant classification system reflash.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
