9999 TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR Recall

Campaign:

13E017000 on 04/10/2013

Component:

Air bags

Defect:

Takata has determined that the inflators in certain frontal passenger-side air bag inflators it manufactured and supplied to various vehicle manufacturers may produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflators to rupture upon deployment of the air bag.

Consequence:

In the event of a crash resulting in a deployment of the passenger's air bag, the inflator could rupture, with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the passenger seat occupant or other occupants.

Correction:

Owners of all vehicles on which a defective air bag may have been installed either as original equipment, or as a replacement, will be notified by their respective vehicle manufacturers. dealers will inspect vehicles, and where a defective air bag inflator is identified, the inflator will be replaced, free of charge. owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer for more information.

Notes:

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
