Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1133810 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 23, 2014 |

| Component | Airbag |
| Production period | April 27, 2001 — April 22, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 129,057 units |
Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Isuzu & Nissan.
The Airbag is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 225 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 33 Isuzu notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 376 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 1 year and 11 months.
Defect
In the passenger-side airbag inflator, the propellant forming process during manufacturing is incorrect, or moisture-prevention measures applied after forming are insufficient, resulting in propellant of insufficient density being incorporated into some units. During airbag deployment, internal inflator pressure rises abnormally, causing the inflator housing to rupture and fragment. In the worst case, this may cause a vehicle fire or injure occupants.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected inflator with a known-good unit. Because procurement of replacement parts will require additional time, as an interim measure until parts become available, the passenger-side airbag system will be disabled and a warning indicating that the airbag is non-operational will be displayed on the passenger-side sun visor.

状況
助手席用エアバッグのインフレータ（膨張装置）において、ガス発生剤の成型工程が不適切又は成型後の吸湿防止措置が不適切なため、密度が不足したガス発生剤が組み込まれたものがある。そのため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレータ内圧が異常上昇し、インフレータ容器が破損して飛び散り、出火したり乗員が負傷するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該インフレータを良品に交換する。なお、改善措置用部品の準備に時間を要することから、部品が供給できるまでの暫定措置として、助手席用エアバッグの機能を停止するとともに、助手席サンバイザ部に当該エアバッグが作動しない旨の警告を表示する。
