Component:
Air bags
Manufactured:
04/12/2000 - 07/30/2004
Defect:
Takata corporation (takata) has determined that certain model spi, pspi, and pspi-l passenger frontal air bag inflators manufactured april 13, 2000, to july 31, 2004, and installed in vehicles originally sold, or currently registered, in areas of high absolute humidity, may be susceptible to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag. specifically, vehicles sold, or currently registered, in puerto rico, hawaii, the u.s. virgin islands, guam, saipan, american samoa, florida and adjacent counties in southern georgia, as well as the coastal areas of alabama, louisiana, mississippi and texas, are susceptible to excessive internal pressure that could cause a rupture.
Consequence:
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Correction:
The vehicle manufacturers that installed these inflators on their vehicle products will notify the affected vehicle owners and perform a free remedy on vehicles. 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.
