“I was driving my 2012 when suddenly the airbag light came on. The codes that came up are b1084, b1312, and b1015. The codes were cleared but the b1312 stayed on. The problem is that the passenger seat belt light is staying on with or without a passenger, and buckled or not. The air bag b1312 says that the issue is something in the passenger seat sensor mat performance. This car is clean and has never had any accidents whatsoever. The light just suddenly came on one day. I read that there were other airbag recalls to the 2012 Suzuki Kizashi, but mine supposedly is not included. …”
