Details
What's wrong: The airbag harness wire may have been improperly routed through an opening in the dashboard crossmember and could be pinched and chafed between two panels eventually resulting in damage to the wire.
Why it matters: If the airbag harness wire is damaged, the passiverestraint system will become inoperative. The dashboard warning light willilluminate, but the passive restraint will not function until the wire isrepaired.
The fix: Secure wire to the crossmember with a clip.
