I PURCHASED THIS UNIT IN 2010. THIS IS RELATED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SIGNAL OF THE AIRBAG APPEARS OFF EVEN IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN IN 2013.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION BUT WHEN I GAVE MY VIN # IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V344000). *TR
