I have been assured this is Bob's NASA source regarding whiskers which have
been found in new vehicle systems:

"Henning Leidecker, chief engineer of the electronic parts office of NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and an expert on tin
whiskers, said in the last four years his office has been contacted by seven
major suppliers of automotive electronics inquiring about failures in their
products caused by tin whiskers."

"He said his office has contacted Toyota offering to help analyze its
acceleration problem, but hasn't heard back."

For full context, read the rest of the article here:

Could Henning Leidecker be another one who believes that there is a possible
connection to whiskers in this affair?

Good day.
