Approximately 1.75 million AEIL weight sensor assemblies used in various vehicles are being recalled because they may crack and short circuit. This defect can cause the occupant classification system to malfunction, which may lead to the front passenger air bag deploying unintentionally or failing to deploy during a crash. Consumers should refer to specific recalls from Toyota and Honda to determine if their individual vehicle is affected by this equipment defect.
A short-circuited weight sensor may prevent the air bag from deploying as intended during a collision, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury to occupants. Conversely, it could also cause an air bag to deploy when not needed, which can cause injury to a passenger.
