Toyota Toyota Cavalier 1995–1996
Hazard
The horn has inadequate water resistance. Continued use in this condition allows water to enter the horn's interior during rain driving and other wet conditions, causing internal contact corrosion. This results in the horn failing to produce a continuous sound of consistent volume and tone, and in the worst case, the horn may fail to sound entirely.

Remedy
Replace the horn with a corrective component on all vehicles.
