Description of the problem	When a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat, the airbag will frequently fail to turn on. An airbag warning light will instead appear on the dash. When i brought the car to the dealership, they insisted (before even looking at the car) that something must have been spilled on the seat and that the seat would need to be replaced (for $895). Nothing has ever been spilled on the front passenger seat, nor has it gotten wet. Visual inspection of the seat shows that it's in pristine shape. Sometimes the airbag alert will appear when the car is still stationary. Other times, it has only appeared once the car was in motion.

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.
