Fmvss 208/seat sensor calibration/airbag
Defect Summary
Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." in these vehicles, the right front passenger seat is built with a passenger sensing system. when tested with a representative unrestrained small adult, the system is required to turn the right front passenger's frontal airbag on. an error in the seat sensor calibration can cause it to fail this test. in addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child.
Safety Consequence
Whenever the front passenger seat is occupied, the driver should always check the airbag indicator to see if the airbag is on or off. if it is not correct for the situation, the passenger should be moved to a different seat. this can increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant during certain crash conditions.
