Defect
In the inflator of the passenger-seat dual-stage deployment airbag, moisture protection for the propellant is inadequate. Repeated cycles of temperature and humidity variation can cause the propellant to deteriorate. As a result, the inflator housing may rupture during airbag deployment.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, as a precautionary measure, the airbag assembly or inflator is replaced with an improved part. Work is scheduled to begin on January 14 for IS models and in early February for LFA models.
