What can fail
Under dry conditions, static electricity can build up when you enter or exit the vehicle. Touching certain areas of the steering wheel could cause an electrical short that unexpectedly deploys the driver's airbag, risking injury.
What the fix does
A ground wire will be installed to safely discharge static electricity and prevent unintended airbag deployment.
