Description of the problem | I bought a replacement radiator core support manufactured in china. It has a defect that requires the front air bag sensors be installed facing the opposite direction from the normal orientation (rearward rather than forward). However, i suspect that may affect air bag sensor function and possibly air bag deployment during an accident. Online chats with the sensor manufacturer result in evasive answers due to potential liability. Therefore, i believe the chinese manufactured radiator core supports should be recalled. *js |
