Hazard

The assembly process for the inflators of the side airbag, curtain shield airbag, and knee airbag was improper, resulting in insufficient gas heating agent charge in some units. Consequently, when subjected to impact sufficient to deploy the airbag, insufficient gas expansion pressure may prevent the airbag from deploying, potentially causing serious injury to occupants.

サイドエアバッグ、カーテンシールドエアバッグ、ニーエアバッグそれぞれのインフレータ(膨張装置)の組付工程が不適切なため、ガス加熱剤の充填量が不足しているものがある。そのため、エアバッグが作動するような衝撃を受けた際、ガスの膨張力が不足し当該エアバッグが展開せず、乗員に過度の傷害を与えるおそれがある。

Remedy

All vehicles: Replace the affected airbag unit(s) with serviceable parts.
