Hazard
The inflator (inflation device) of the passenger-side dual-stage deployment control airbag has inadequate moisture-proofing of the gas generant, which may cause degradation due to repeated temperature and humidity fluctuations. This may result in inflator container rupture during airbag deployment.

助手席用二段展開制御式エアバッグのインフレータ（膨張装置）において、ガス発生剤の吸湿防止が不適切なため、温度および湿度変化の繰り返しによりガス発生剤が劣化することがある。このため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレータ容器が破損するおそれがある。
Remedy
All vehicles will have the airbag assembly or inflator replaced with improved units as a preventive measure. Work is scheduled to begin January 14 for IS models and early February for LFA models.
