My wheel sensor is on since I purchased and in the dmv theres a recall.
I own a 2007 Chevrolet silverado (VIN 1gcek19037z631405). Recently I had an air bag service warning which was dealer diagnosed as a failed sensor and the unit replaced. My review of the failed part showed the same damage as the failed sensor I had replaced last year. The damage indicates the sensor cases were cracked open by over tightening of the mounting hardware (refer to the attached photograph). The sensor is a high value part (part plus installation $ 375) that has to have a high reliability. The corrosion present at the case failure must have caused the diagnostic system to show a fault. Since this is critical part, an installation torque must have been designated and the torque either was wrong or improperly adjusted.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 45 mph, the contact noticed that the air bag light was dim. He stated that his wife was seated in the passenger seat at the time and weighs 120 pounds. He also stated that the air bag light is off 75% of the time and should be illuminated at all times when the passenger seat is occupied. The dealer and manufacturer stated that his wife's weight is too light to activate the system, which is a normal function. The dealer test drove the vehicle and concluded that nothing was wrong. The manufacturer stated that they would send him a video to support the dealer's conclusion. The current mileage was 650 and failure mileage was 350. Updated 12/12/2007 updated 12/12/07.
