Hazard

In passenger-side airbag inflators, some units contain gas generant with insufficient density due to improper molding during the manufacturing process or inadequate moisture-prevention measures after molding. This can cause abnormally elevated internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment, resulting in rupture and fragmentation of the inflator container, with risk of ignition.
