Defect
Some passenger-side airbag inflators were manufactured with propellant that has insufficient density, caused by either an improper propellant molding process or inadequate moisture-prevention measures applied after molding. During airbag deployment, internal inflator pressure may rise abnormally, rupturing the inflator housing and scattering fragments. This may cause a vehicle fire or injure occupants.
Corrective action
Replace the affected inflator on all vehicles with a conforming part.
