Defect
In the passenger airbag inflator, moisture protection of the propellant is inadequate. Repeated cycles of temperature and humidity variation cause the propellant to deteriorate. As a result, when the airbag deploys, the inflator housing may rupture.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the passenger airbag inflator with a corrected part. Because parts preparation will require additional time, replacements will proceed in order of model year, oldest first, as parts become available.

状況
助手席用エアバッグのインフレーター（膨張装置）において、ガス発生剤の吸湿防止が不適切なため、温度および湿度変化の繰り返しによりガス発生剤が劣化することがある。このため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレーター容器が破損するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、助手席用エアバッグのインフレーターを対策品と交換する。なお、交換用部品の準備に時間を要するため、準備ができた段階で、年式の古いものから順次交換する。
