IT WAS REMOVED AND AN HOUR LATER WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, WHICH FRACTURED THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED, THE DEALER WAS ALERTED AND INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DUE TO FLOODING. |
