The problem
The design of the air bag diagnostic monitor causes the driver's side air bag to deploy when the passenger door is slammed while the ignition key is turned to the start position.
The risk
Inadvertent deployment of the air bag can result ininjury to the driver.
The fix
Install a redesigned air bag diagnostic monitor.
