Hazard

The passenger airbag inflator may contain a gas generant with insufficient density due to improper molding of the gas generant or inadequate moisture prevention measures after molding. During airbag deployment, this can cause abnormal pressure rise within the inflator, resulting in rupture and fragmentation of the inflator container, with risk of fire.
