THIS CONDITION WOULD CAUSE THE “PASSENGER AIR BAG” WORDING TO NOT BE VISIBLE DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO TELL WHY THE “ON” AND/OR “OFF” TELLTALES ARE BEING ILLUMINATED. DEALERS ARE TO REWORK THE HEADLINER SIDE OF THE INLINE HARNESS TO ENABLE ILLUMINATION OF THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG" WORDING.
