KJ-0316-0

The bolt that connects between the horn switch and the steering unit does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, if the airbag is deployed at a very low temperature, the bolt may break from the pressure, which may cause the horn switch to lunge out of the steering unit, and in the worst case, this may result in an injury to a driver or a passenger.
