The communications gateway module incorrectly processes a loss of communication with the sensing diagnostic module (SDM), causing the airbag malfunction indicator light to illuminate inconsistently.
As a result, the airbag malfunction indicator light may fail to warn the driver of a problem with the airbag, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
Dealers will update the software in the communications gateway module free of charge.
