Hazard

The driver-side airbag inflator has inadequate moisture protection, allowing the gas generant to absorb moisture. Repeated moisture absorption and drying cycles during use may prevent proper airbag deployment during actuation.

運転者席用エアバッグのインフレータ(膨張装置)において、吸湿防止が不適切なため、ガス発生剤が吸湿することがある。そのため、使用過程でガス発生剤が吸湿や乾燥を繰返した場合など、エアバッグ作動時に正常に展開しないおそれがある。

Remedy

All vehicles will have the airbag inflator or airbag assembly replaced with a substitute as a preventive measure. Owners will be notified again once replacement parts are available.
