Filing in context

For scale, 173 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 10 months.
Defect
In the passenger-side airbag inflator, the propellant molding process was improper or moisture-prevention measures after molding were inadequate, resulting in inflators assembled with propellant of insufficient density. During airbag deployment, internal inflator pressure may rise abnormally, rupturing the inflator housing and causing fragments to scatter. This may also result in a fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected inflator with a conforming unit.
