RJ-1744-0

For the resin part of the CPU built in the control unit that controls airbags, there may be foreign objects mixed in the process of manufacturing, and they may affect the properties of the compound material, which was unsuitable for the purpose. If the wires inside the CPU crack as a result of this problem and the vehicle continues to be driven after that, the wires may disconnect, and in the worst case, the airbags might inflate unexpectedly.
