1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2018 Tesla Model 3

Failure Date: 03/04/2021

Multiple times, the passenger airbag indicator on the dashboard showed the airbag was not activate despite the passenger seat being occupied by a 112 pound person with a buckled seat belt. There is no active notification that the airbag is deactivated in the presence of indications of occupancy of that seat. This could lead an inattentive driver or passenger to believe everyone is safe when, in fact, the passenger is not safe.

My wife is 5 feet tall and weighs 90 pounds. When sitting in the front passenger seat, the passenger side airbag indicator displays off.
