For scale, 449 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 3 years and 4 months.
Defect
In the driver's airbag inflator, a wrong partition plate—which forms the inflation gas flow path inside the inflator—was installed during assembly. When the airbag deploys, internal inflator pressure rises abnormally, causing the inflator housing to rupture and fragment. Fragmentation may injure vehicle occupants.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the production number of the driver's airbag. If the vehicle is affected, replace the inflator with a genuine, correct-specification unit.
