## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, impacts directly on the cover of the airbag electronic control module \(AECM\) located under the driver's seat could cause the airbag to deploy inadvertently.  These impacts can be caused by tossing items under the driver's seat.  Correction:  Airbag control module will be replaced with a current production module that incorporates revised hardware and software changes.
