Hazard

The passenger-side airbag inflator contains a welded joint between the diffuser and gas generator body that may be improperly welded. Upon airbag deployment, this joint may separate, causing the diffuser to detach. This prevents inflation gas from being supplied to the airbag, resulting in failure to deploy. In a frontal collision, this may cause severe injury to occupants.
