Crash riskThe key can fold into itself while driving, and contact with it can switch the engine off. If that happens, the airbags may not deploy in a crash, raising the risk of injury.

Fire riskThe electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well. Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Fix: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge.
