Description

Vehicles with a passenger airbag manufactured by Takata.

Production dates

The affected vehicles were manufactured between 1 August 2011 and 7 June 2012.

Risk

The propellant used in the airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants.
