Hazard

The inflator of the front passenger airbag, when exposed to extremely high temperature and high humidity environments for extended periods, may allow moisture to enter the inflator. Consequently, upon airbag deployment, internal pressure in the inflator may rise abnormally, causing the inflator container to rupture and scatter, potentially injuring occupants.
