⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because on the affected vehicles the Side Air Bag (SAB) module wiring may move freely, which could turn on the airbag light and set a diagnostic code. In such a case, the SAB would not expand in the case of a road accident, thus reducing the protection of the driver and the co-passenger.
