Hazard
The driver-side airbag inflator has been found to exhibit significant variation in gas-generating propellant density based on investigation of market recalls by other manufacturers. Although the root cause remains undetermined, there is a potential risk that the airbag may not deploy normally during deployment; therefore, as a precautionary measure, the inflator will be replaced with a new unit.

運転者席用エアバッグのインフレータ（膨張装置）において、他社で市場回収品を調査した結果、ガス発生剤の密度にばらつきが大きいものを確認した。このため、原因は判明していないが、エアバッグ展開時に正常に展開しないおそれがあることから、予防的措置として当該インフレータを新品に交換する。
Remedy
