THE FAILURE APPARENTLY WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE AIR BAG DRIVER, WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT, UNDER A RUBBER MAT WITH A FABRIC INSULATION. DRIVER AND AIR BAG WERE BOTH REPLACED. CORROSION WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY ROCK SALT AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE INFUSION, AS THESE ARE VERY HEAVILY USED AS DE-ICING AGENTS IN THE AREA.*AK |
