The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with the Air Cushion Restraint System (ACRS) option. An underhood wiring harness which is one of the means of activating the acrs in the event of an accident, may have been routed so that it can be pulled into contact with the power steering pulley. Should the harness cover be rubbed through by the power steering pulley, it could cause a short - allowing inadvertent deployment of the air cushion in the passenger compartment. A loss of control and vehicle could occur.
