Hazard

Certain passenger-side air bags have improper welds at the joint between the diffuser and gas generator body within the inflator. When the air bag deploys, the joint may separate, causing the diffuser to detach. This prevents inflation gas from reaching the bag, resulting in failure to deploy, which may cause excessive injury to occupants in frontal collisions.
