Filing in context
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 47 Mitsubishi notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 1,229 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 7 months.
Defect
In the driver 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 driver 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
運転者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、運転者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。
