Hazard

Due to improper tightening work instructions for the left and right side airbag sensor mounting nuts, some nuts are not properly secured. As a result, the nuts may loosen due to driving vibrations and other factors, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate or the side airbag to not deploy properly during a collision, potentially leaving occupants unprotected.
