## What is wrong

Certain passenger vehicles. Static electricity can build up within the passenger\-side air bag module and create significant enough charge to cause an inadvertent air bag deployment during triggering events. Most of these triggering events have occurred in cooler, dry weather and have generally included dusting or wiping of the dashboard, starting the car, or closing the door. Unexpected air bag deployment can result in occupant injury. Correction: Dealers will install a front passenger\-side air bag module grounding strap
