You are right--should have inserted a ? But that was the intent, to get to the bottom of the matter. I do believe cratering is inferred. --- On Wed, 6/6/12, Whittaker, Dewey (EHCOE) <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Whittaker, Dewey (EHCOE) <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [TN] CRATERING in action To: [log in to unmask] Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 8:03 AM How did you get from "possible cracking of a printed circuit" to cratering in action? Were there pictures or reports that stated/showed actual pad cratering as the failure mechanism? For something that may happen once in a blue moon, blaming cratering is guilt by association rather than scientific evidence.

Kia, an affiliate of Hyundai Motor, is recalling the cars from model years 2006 through 2008 because of possible cracking of a printed circuit in the front passenger seat sensor mat that could lead to the system not being able to detect whether a child passenger is in the seat, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In that case, the airbag would deploy during a crash when normally the sensor would tell it not to, increasing the risk of injury. If enough cracking in the circuit occurs, the airbag warning light on the car's instrument panel will illuminate, according to NHTSA documents. No undesired airbag deployments or injuries related to the issue were reported, according to NHTSA documents. The recall to replace the sensor mat is expected to begin in July, according to NHTSA documents. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
