Hazard

The passenger side airbag inflator may allow moisture ingress when exposed to high temperature and high humidity environments for extended periods. This can cause abnormal pressure rise in the inflator during airbag deployment, resulting in inflator container rupture and fragmentation, which may injure occupants.
