## What is wrong

On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage, a mixture of snow, water and road\-salt solution may infiltrate between the front impact sensor and the bracket that attaches it to the vehicle.  Over time, repeated freezing/thawing cycles could cause a crack to develop in the sensor case allowing water intrusion and short circuit of the sensor.  In the event of a crash, this could result in delayed deployment of the driver and passenger front airbags which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front impact sensor and replace it if it is found to be cracked. An updated designed bracket and cover will also be installed.
