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 9 Isuzu notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 4,782 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
Some passenger-side airbag inflators were manufactured without the check valve pin installed. When the airbag deploys, the absence of this pin prevents the gas supply port from opening correctly, causing the airbag to inflate insufficiently. In a frontal collision, this may result in excessive injury to the occupant.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the airbag unit will be replaced with a conforming unit.
