Official summary

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 69 number 08-11 dated December 10, 2008. The airbag warning lamp is illuminated in the instrument cluster. DTCs are stored in the airbag control module. This condition may be caused by sporadic high resistance in the connector between the airbag and seat harness, even though the side airbag system is functioning normally.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
