For scale, 1,213 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 years and 6 months.
Defect
In the driver-side airbag inflator, inadequate moisture protection allows the propellant to absorb humidity. If the propellant undergoes repeated cycles of moisture absorption and drying during service, the airbag may not deploy normally when activated.
Corrective action
As a precautionary measure, replace the airbag inflator or airbag assembly on all vehicles with an alternative part. Separate notification will be issued to arrange parts replacement once replacement parts become available.
