Campaign Details

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

Defect Description

Takata (TK Global LLC) is recalling certain Non-Azide driver-side air bag inflators (NADI). These inflators were used by certain vehicle manufacturers and included in recall expansions under NHTSA numbers 21V-401 and 21V-470. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to explode or the air bag cushion to underinflate.

Consequence / Hazard

During air bag deployment, an inflator explosion may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of serious injury or death.

Proposed Solution

Takata will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers who have filed their own recalls, and their dealers will replace the inflators, free of charge.
