The issue

The seat position sensor (SPS) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the airbag inflation pressure accordingly in the event of a crash. This is primarily to lessen the inflation pressure for smaller statured drivers who usually sit closer to the steering wheel. In the affected vehicles, the SPS harness was incorrectly attached to the 8-way power seat frame. Over time, the sensor harness could break which would cause the airbag warning light to be illuminated, and the SPS to fail. A failure of the SPS causes the airbag deployment to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's airbag could increase the risk of injury for smaller statured drivers in a frontal crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring harness.
