If operated in hot, humid environment with window open and air conditioning running, condensation may enter audio unit and cause short circuit, which can start fire in speaker. Vehicles may experience air bag deployments in minor undercarriage impacts, which can result in occupant injury. A wrong clamp may have been installed on window air bag units, so air bag may not fully deploy in side-impact collision. Steering wheel center bushing connecting steering wheel hub to column can slip, resulting in excessive freeplay and looseness of steering. Accelerator cable is susceptible to freezing.
Water can accumulate in end fitting and freeze.
Ice could prevent accelerator from returning to idle. Increased stopping distance would result. Reduced steering control could occur. If both corners of sub frame drop, steering becomes difficult. System can fracture, increasing risk of injury to seat occupant.
