Defect
Investigation of field-returned units from certain driver-side SRS airbag inflators revealed significant variation in the density of the gas-generating propellant. Although the root cause has not been determined, there is concern that the airbag may not deploy normally during a deployment event. As a precautionary measure, the affected inflators are to be replaced with new units.
Corrective action
As a precautionary measure on all affected vehicles, the driver-side SRS airbag inflator is included under notification number Foreign-2173, dated May 14, 2015. Inflators are to be replaced with new units progressively, beginning with the oldest vehicles, and retrieved units are subject to root-cause investigation.
