What was wrong
Defect
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE MOUNTING OF THE AIR BAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) MAY NOT BE SUITED FOR LONG TERM RELIABILITY. IF LEFT UNCHANGED, THE MOUNTING COULD BECOME WEAK AND THE ABILITY OF THE AIR BAG ECU TO SENSE A CRASH WOULD BE IMPAIRED.
Risk
IF A CRASH SHOULD OCCUR, THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS EXPECTED.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL LONGER SCREWS, WHICH ENSURE BETTER TIGHTENING AND SECURING OF THE ECU TO THE BODY ELEMENT.
