Defect Summary:	On certain passenger vehicles, an intermittent condition that leads to the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag warning light illumination could result from motion of the side impact air bag wiring harness and side impact air bag wiring harness connector which mount to the adjustable seat cushion assembly. this condition only relates to the side impact air bags and could prevent air bag deployment during a crash where such deployment should occur.
Consequence Summary:	Non-deployment of the srs side impact air bag could increase the risk of injury during a side impact crash.
