The securing mechanism used in the front impact sensors, which are to detect sudden impacts, is not appropriate, and therefore, the securing bolts may loosen in an offset collision. If this occurs, the sensors may fail to detect an impact in an offset collision, and this may cause a delay in ignition of airbags, in which case the desired performance may not be achieved.
