Final Findings:
ARCCA's
accident reconstruction expert concluded that the bare wire on the front left wheel speed sensor, as described in the TSB, caused failure of the ABS system thus resulting in diminished stability control under wet road conditions. In this case, if the CDR report was the only information gathered from the inspection and a further review of the recalls, TSBs and brake system inspection were not performed, it is possible this failure would have been overlooked and the claim deemed to be unfounded or from human error. Researching the background and completing a full mechanical inspection helped ARCCA uncover the cause of the incident after a lack of data from the CDR report.
