Recall date December 5, 2007
Models affected

Units affected 25,780
Details

On certain vehicles, the wire harness for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) and the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) is routed underneath the carpet on the driver's side floorboard.

In areas where road salt is used, salt from the snow on the drivers shoes will melt and may penetrate the carpet and leak into the wire harness.

If the harness is exposed to salt brine, corrosion may occur and the wire may break causing the Safety Restraint System (SRS) indicator light to illuminate.

A failure of the ODS and OPDS may not detect the presence of a child seat or an out-of-position passenger and deployment of both the front seat passenger's frontal and side airbags will not be suppressed.

In the event of a crash, a deploying front passenger airbag or front passenger's side airbag will increase the risk of injury to small or out-of-position occupants.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the wire harness.

If there is no corrosion, the harness will be re-insulated; if corrosion is evident, the wire harness will be replaced.
