What can fail
A sharp metal edge in the lower instrument panel can pinch the air bag wire, causing an intermittent short circuit within 1.5 to 1.7 seconds after starting the vehicle. This may trigger the air bag to deploy unexpectedly.
What the fix does
The technician will inspect the electrical system for short circuits and repair them. A protective patch will be installed on the lower instrument panel to prevent the air bag wire from rubbing. If needed, the rear wiper motor will be disconnected and the fuse replaced.
