The issue
On certain vehicles, the Integrated Air Bag Monitor (IABM) contaminated with water or other liquids may experience internal electrical shorting. This in turn may result in air bag readiness light illumination; however in very rare occurrences, airbag deployment, melted wiring or fire may occur. Correction: Dealer will install a shield over the IABM and nyogel grease to the connector.
