Details

What's wrong: The occupant classification system (ocs) may not be properly calibrated, resulting in the front passenger air bag not being deactivated if a child seat is in the front seat.

Why it matters: If a child seat is in the front seat and the passenger air bag is not deactivated, in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat cushion, free of charge. The recall began January 2, 2019.
