Details

What's wrong: Certain pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions and optional fabric front captain's chairs fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 208, 'occupant crash protection.' These vehicles were built with an incorrect front passenger occupant classification system indicator light lens which will not display the status of the front passenger air bag.

Why it matters: As a result, the vehicle occupants will not be made aware of whether or not the air bag is activated and ready to protect the occupant as appropriate.

The fix: Dealers will replace the front passenger occupant classification system indicator lens. The recall began August 5, 2005.
