Hazard

The inflator (inflation device) of the driver-side two-stage deployment control airbag has inadequate moisture-prevention measures for the gas generant, which may degrade the gas generant through repeated absorption and desorption cycles caused by temperature changes. This may result in rupture of the inflator container upon airbag deployment.
