On certain vehicles, the wiring harness connector located in the area of the drivers footrest could corrode due to exposure to melted snow/water containing road salt. This could result in illumination of several warning lamps including the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp. If the SRS warning lamp is illuminated and the vehicle is subsequently involved in a collision that warrants frontal air bag deployment, the timing of the frontal airbag deployment(s) may be delayed, which would increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant(s). Correction: Dealers will relocate the wiring connector to a higher position. The connector will also be inspected and, if any corrosion is found, the connector will be replaced with a new one. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2015-579. Vehicles repaired as part of the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
