On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant detection system, which is calibrated to detect whether the seat is occupied by a small adult or certain ISOFIX child seats, may misinterpret a properly seated small adult as one of these specific child seats and deactivate the front passenger airbag. This deactivation would be indicated by the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" lamp being lit. A deactivated passenger airbag would not deploy during a vehicle crash, leaving the seat occupant susceptible to increased injuries. Correction: Dealers will replace the front passenger seat occupant detection system.
