## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  VAN AND WAGON MODEL PASSENGER VEHICLES.  IF WATER/ROAD SALT GETS ON THE INTERIOR FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE AIR BAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE \(AECM\), THE AECM CAN CORRODE.  THE RESULTING CORROSION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY.


## What can happen
