Recall 99V109000: Air Bag Control Module Replacement

Moisture can enter the air bag inflatable restraint electronic control module (ECM) and cause corrosion on portions of the ECM printer circuit boards.

This corrosion can possibly create open connections in circuits which control the restraint deployment, possibly causing inadvertent air bag deployment.

Dealers will inspect the exterior of the ECM. If there is no indication of moisture, a cover will be installed over the ECM. If there is indication of moisture, the dealer will replace the ECM and install a cover over the new ECM.

Owner notification began July 5, 1999.
