## What is wrong

BECAUSE OF CERTAIN CALIBRATIONS IN THE AIR BAG'S COMPUTER, THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN A LOW SPEED CRASH OR WHEN AN OBJECT STRIKES THE FLOOR PAN.

CORRECTION: THE SDM MODULE WILL BE RECALIBRATED TO REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY TO SHORT AND MID\-DURATION COMMANDED DEPLOYMENTS.
