Filing in context

For scale, 1,815 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 2 months.
Defect
The front seat belt pretensioners were manufactured with an incorrect propellant charge formulation for the belt retraction mechanism.
