On certain vehicles, the front passenger metal footrest could, over time, abrade through the wiring harness under the footrest. If this happens, the wiring harness can short-circuit and cause overheating of the wires, engine stalling, or an airbag to inadvertently deploy. Correction: Dealers will install additional wiring harness cable fastener ties and edge protective covering for sharp edges of the metal footrest.
