Defect Summary: Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." in these vehicles, the right front passenger seat is built with a passenger sensing system. when tested with a representative unrestrained small adult, the system is required to turn the right front passenger's frontal airbag on. an error in the seat sensor calibration can cause it to fail this test. in addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child.
