Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1105720 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 3, 1999 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Suzuki |
| Component | Airbag |
| Production period | December 1997 — December 25, 1997 |
| Vehicles affected | 124 units |
Defect
The propellant in the inflator module of the driver-side airbag was manufactured defectively. Repeated rapid temperature changes cause the propellant to degrade, increasing the deployment pressure when the airbag deploys. In the worst case, the canister housing the propellant may rupture, impairing airbag function.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the inflator module with a non-defective unit.
