Hazard

In the passenger-side airbag inflator, due to improper molding of the gas generant or inadequate moisture-prevention measures after molding, some units contain gas generant with insufficient density. During airbag deployment, this can cause abnormal pressure rise inside the inflator, resulting in rupture and fragmentation of the inflator container, with risk of fire.
