## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the airbag clockspring jumper wire may be oriented in a way that allows contact with the lower horn mounting plate.  In this position the wire insulation may chafe, exposing bare copper, and creating the potential for a short circuit.  Should this occur, the airbag warning lamp will illuminate, indicating service is required.  In some instances, the driver's airbag could inadvertently deploy.  Inadvertent deployment in a non\-collision \(non\-impact\) situation may create expensive vehicle repair, including replacement of the driver's airbag module.  In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants.  Correction: Dealers will install an updated clockspring jumper wire which incorporates a protective mesh cover.
