As a result, the airbag system can turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated in the front passenger seat. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with the Executive package.
Safety Risk
An airbag system that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
