On certain passenger vehicles, the integrated air bag monitor (iabm) can be contaminated with water or other liquids and could experience internal electrical shorting.
风险: This may, in turn, cause the air bag readiness light to illuminate and in very rare occurrences, air bag deployment, melted wiring, or fire may occur.
解决方案: Dealers will install the shield over the iabm and apply nyogel grease to the connector. Owner notification began february 11, 2003.
