Defect	In the electrical system, due to an inappropriate design of the steering column, sand and dust may enter the steering column. As a result, when operating the steering wheel, the wiring inside the steering column may come into contact with sand and dust, causing a disconnection, which may illuminate the airbag warning light, and in the worst case, the driver's side airbag may not deploy during a collision. Alternatively, the horn may not operate even when activated.
