Filing in context

For scale, 2,351 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 9 months.
Defect
In passenger-side airbag inflators, improper molding of the propellant or inadequate moisture-prevention measures applied after molding resulted in propellant of insufficient density being incorporated into some inflators. During airbag deployment, internal inflator pressure rises abnormally, causing the inflator housing to rupture and scatter fragments. This may result in a vehicle fire or injury to vehicle occupants.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the passenger-side airbag inflator is replaced with a new unit.
