Driver front airbags
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
Learn MoreIn the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion, towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
