Defect
In the passenger-side airbag inflator, the weld at the filter joint is improper. During airbag deployment, the filter joint may detach and the outer casing may fracture, preventing sufficient gas from being supplied to the airbag. As a result, the airbag may fail to deploy correctly in a frontal collision, exposing the occupant to excessive injury.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the passenger-side airbag assembly with a non-defective unit.
