Issue: rnOn certain vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system not to turn off the airbag when an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat. This could also cause the passenger seat belt reminder to activate when the seat is empty. Note: This problem only affects vehicles with leather seats. rn rnSafety Risk:rnIn a crash, an airbag that deploys in front of an infant or child increases the risk of injury.rn rnCorrective Actions: rnThe company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a Suzuki service provider to have the front passenger seat cushion replaced.
