Hair or other fibers may contaminate the airbag clock spring (a spiral wound, flat
cable that keeps the airbag powered while the steering wheel is being turned). This
contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the
driver's frontal airbag. A loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal airbag
will prevent the airbag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the
risk of injury.
