Recall issued January 2017, no remedy available as of October 2017, safety concern as the problem may cause airbag to not deploy and this has been unresolved for 9 months. If an active fault exists in the pps system and a crash occurs, the SDM will not deploy the front passenger airbag. If an adult is occupying the passenger seat, the suppression of the front passenger airbag could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
