On certain vehicles, fuses in the passenger side interior fuse box might have been installed incorrectly during assembly. This could result in one or more fuses losing electrical contact, which could affect different system functions, such as front passenger seat occupancy recognition, passenger side airbag indicator lamp, the instrument cluster and the windshield wipers. Should the front passenger seat occupancy recognition system be disabled, and the passenger side airbag indicator lamp be affected, there would be no visual warning that the passenger frontal airbag is not operating correctly. Failure of the passenger frontal airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Also, instrument cluster and windshield wiper malfunction could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the installation position and orientation of the fuses in the passenger side interior fuse box, and replace the fuse box if necessary.
