Certain 2016 F-150 pickups have faulty passenger-airbag sensors that can deactivate the frontal airbag by classifying a seated adult as a child. The problem has only been found in the optional multi-contour seat, and only when the massage feature is activated. A total of 2894 pickups are affected. Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system at a later date.
