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 31 Honda notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 1,170 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 5 years and 2 months.
Defect
The driver-side SRS airbag inflator was subjected to inadequate moisture-control procedures after propellant filling during manufacturing. Exposure to ambient temperature variations and other environmental factors in service causes the propellant to expand and lose density. During airbag deployment, this condition causes abnormal pressure buildup inside the inflator. In the worst case, the inflator housing ruptures and fragments scatter, potentially injuring occupants.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the driver-side SRS airbag inflator with a corrected part.

状況
運転者席側ＳＲＳエアバッグのインフレータ（膨張装置）において、インフレータ製造時におけるガス発生剤充填後の吸湿管理が不適切なため、使用過程での外気温等の影響によりガス発生剤が膨張し、密度が低下するものがある。そのため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレータ内圧が異常上昇し、インフレータ容器が破損して飛び散り、乗員が負傷するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、運転者席側ＳＲＳエアバッグのインフレータを対策品と交換する。
