Damage: In the event of a crash, this condition could increase the risk of injury to occupants in the front seat.

Testing has indicated that the aftermarket leather seat covers can cause the passenger sensing system to malfunction.

In either case, in the event of a crash that requires air bag deployment, a front passenger’s level of injury may be increased.
