As a result, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, 'occupant crash protection.'
Safety risk
The padi lamp will fail to illuminate and the air bag warning lamp in the cluster will stay illuminated.
Remedy
The fleet customer was notified and all vehicles have been repaired. The recall began on april 28, 2006.
