What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN ALTERED PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ROUSH LEATHER SEAT PACKAGES, THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) SENSOR SYSTEM CAN INTERMITTENTLY DEACTIVATE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ILLUMINATE THE DASH DISPLAY SHOWING "PASSENGER AIRBAG DEACTIVATED" WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING.

The risk

IN CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS, THE PASSENGER'S AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT.

The remedy

ROUSH IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. ROUSH WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION WITH A "SERVICE PACK." THE "SERVICE PACK" WILL CONTAIN A STOCK SEAT CUSHION AND AN OCS THAT HAS BEEN PROPERLY CALIBRATED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF LEATHER SEAT COVERS. ROUSH WILL THEN RECOVER THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION WITH A DIFFERENT LEATHER, AND WILL ALSO MODIFY THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT CUSHION WITH A MATCHING FOAM AND LEATHER FOR ASESTHETIC REASONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ROUSH AT 1-800-597-6874.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
