Suzuki front passenger leather seat may shrink due to high humidity and high temperature.
The short version
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.
The front passenger leather seat may shrink due to high humidity and high temperature. As a result, the occupant classification system (OCS) sensor mat may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.
In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.
Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat bottom cushion, free of charge.
