Hazard

Information was received from a supplier regarding container damage to passenger-side airbag inflators during vehicle dismantling operations at another manufacturer. Although the root cause has not been determined, inflators of the same model year and type may experience container rupture during airbag deployment, resulting in scattered debris that could cause fire or injure occupants. As a precautionary measure, all vehicles will have their airbag modules or inflators replaced with serviceable units.

助手席用エアバッグのインフレータ(膨張装置)において、他社製車両解体作業時にインフレータ容器の破損が発生したとの情報を取引先より入手した。このため、原因は判明していないが、同年式で同タイプのインフレータはエアバッグ展開時にインフレータ容器が破損して飛び散り、出火したり乗員が負傷するおそれがあることから、全車両、予防的措置として、エアバッグモジュール、もしくはインフレータを良品に交換する。

Remedy

All vehicles will have their passenger-side airbag modules or inflators replaced with serviceable units as a precautionary measure. Affected units will be collected and investigated to determine the root cause.
