Description of the problem | Takata recall - is this vehicle subject to recall? Also, the passenger side airbags will only deploy when the passenger weighs over ~110 lbs. My wife is 5'2" & weighs 106 lbs. Which is the proper weight for someone her size. When she sits in the seat the airbag light remains on, telling us she is not protected by airbags. If 40,000+ people lives have been saved by airbags, why does the industry allow lighter weight passengers to not be protected? Is this a recall issue? |
