Vian kuvaus | According to analysis from Takata and independent test laboratories, a possible degradation of the propellant tablets could lead to an overaggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated which may cause the inflator body to rupture. In addition, field return tests and study results showed an agerelated change in characteristics, so that a malfunction of the inflators cannot be excluded. If a possible degradation of the propellant tablets occurs, this could lead to an overaggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated which may cause the inflator body to rupture. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed. A malfunction of the inflators due to an agerelated change in characteristics cannot be excluded. The risk will increase according to the age of the vehicle. On affected vehicles the driver airbag module will be replaced. |
