Defect
The wire harness routed through the driver-side and front passenger-side doors was improperly designed. Repeated opening and closing of the doors flexes the wiring, which may cause a broken wire. If this occurs, the side airbags, curtain airbags, and the door mirror turn signal indicators may become inoperative.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the driver-side and front passenger-side door wire harnesses with corrected parts.
