All recalls

Air bags: on-off switch assemblyReported August 6, 1998 · 84,323 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The statement required in the owner's manual that "...the on-off switch should only ben used when a member of a passenger risk group identified in the request form in appendix b......is occupying the right front passenger seating position..." is mis-stated. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss 208, "occupant crash protection."
Risk
If the air bag switch is "off," the seat occupant who is not a member of the passenger risk group would be subject to increased injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Owners will be sent a corrected owner's manual.
