Hazard
The towing hook attached to the lower front of the vehicle has an inappropriate shape. During road surface contact, impacts from the vehicle undercarriage are easily transmitted to the airbag sensor, which may cause the airbag to deploy unnecessarily at low speeds where passenger protection is not required.
