Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Defect Description

Takata Corporation (Takata) has determined that certain PSPI, PSPI-1.1, PSPI-2, PSPI 6, PSPI-L, and SPI air bag inflators assembled as part of the frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment, such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags, may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.  This recall addresses vehicles ever registered in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Consequence / Hazard

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Proposed Solution

Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to determine into which vehicles the affected inflators were installed either as original or replacement equipment during service. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. Takata notified the OEMs on May 16, 2016. NHTSA will supply this information as soon as possible. Note: Vehicles registered outside of these states may be covered by recalls 16E-043 or 16E-044.
