Details
What's wrong: The forward sensor for the air bag may have been incorrectly constructed with part of the wiring harness to the sensor reversed.
Why it matters: The reversal of the wires could cause delay in the deployment of the air bag and increase the severity of the of injury to an unbelted driver in an accident.
The fix: Replace forward discriminating sensor as necessary.
