## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the clockspring electrical connector may not be fully secured to the driver side air bag module squib pin connector due to the retaining groove in the module not having sufficient depth to hold the connector in the assembled position.  If the connector comes loose, the supplemental air bag warning light will come on.  However, the driver side air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash.  Correction:  Dealer will install a retaining clip on the clockspring electrical connector.
