As per the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, and fail to turn off the air bag as intended. The sensors are required to disable the air bags if children or small adults are in the seats. If that doesn’t happen, it increases the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the seat sensors at no cost to owners. Owners will be notified starting March 18.
