Issue: rnOn certain cars, due to the seating posture/position of the occupant, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. rnNote: When the front passenger-front airbag is turned off, the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator will light.rn rnSafety Risk:rnIn a crash where an airbag is required, an airbag that does not deploy could increase the risk of injury for an adult passenger. rn rnCorrective Actions: rnSuzuki will mail a letter to owners to advise of this problem. A second letter will be sent once a corrective action has been determined.
