- Campaign:
- 16E005000 on 01/24/2016
- Component:
- Air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module
- Manufactured:
- 12/31/2002 - 08/30/2014
- Affected:
- 3,900,000
- Defect:
- Takata corporation (takata) is recalling certain psdi-5 air bag inflators manufactured from start of production (january 1, 2003), through production impacting up through model year 2014 vehicles, assembled as part of the driver-side frontal air bag modules in certain audi, bmw, honda, mercedes-benz, saab, toyota and volkswagen vehicles. these inflators, used as original or replacement equipment during service, may rupture from exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity and/or due to manufacturing variability.
- Consequence:
- In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
- Correction:
- Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to identify 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. nhtsa will supply this information as soon as possible. note: toyota has already launched a recall campaign to address their vehicles under recall number 15v-284. additionally, inflators installed as part of a prior recall remedy are not affected by this recall.

- Affected:
- 2,700,000
- Defect:
- Takata corporation (takata) has determined that certain psdi-5 driver frontal air bag inflators that use calcium sulfate as a desiccant may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to moderate absolute humidity, temperatures, and temperature cycling. these inflators were 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. this recall is not for all desiccated psan inflators; rather it relates to a subset containing calcium sulfate.
- Consequence:
- An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Correction:
- 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, various vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. nhtsa will supply this information as soon as possible.
