The airbag control module for the supplemental restraint system (SRS ECU) has been assembled with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that are susceptible to internal shorting when exposed to high inductive electrical noise from various vehicle electrical components. If this occurs, there is a possibility that the ASIC could become damaged, leading to the airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioners being deactivated or deploying inadvertently.

The mixing ratio of the fire starter component may be incorrect in some initiators. As a result, the side airbag may not deploy.

Under certain conditions condensation in the intake air corrodes the needle bearing housing, thus, the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water-tight any more. If water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit, the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.

In the fuel filter, the resin moulding surrounding the O-ring of the water level sensor is unsuitable, causing insufficient compression of the ring. This means that when the engine is started at low outside temperatures, the fuel might leak into the sensor and then out through the ventilation hole. This could lead to a fire.

Due to insufficient durability, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler may develop an internal coolant leak which could create smouldering deposits inside the EGR cooler and the intake manifold.This may result in localised thermal damage in the intake system, which might lead to engine power reduction and to increased risk of fire.
