Hazard

On van-type vehicles, rainwater and similar moisture that entered the connector of electrical wiring during the period before the van body was mounted to the chassis remained trapped inside. As a result, in some cases where vehicles continued to be used in this condition, the terminals within the connector corroded and became conductive with the ground circuit. In the worst case, the cargo compartment anti-entrapment warning buzzer may sound unexpectedly.
