Defect
During manufacturing of the driver-side SRS airbag inflator, the desiccant was assembled in a moisture-saturated condition. Repeated ambient temperature cycling causes the propellant to deteriorate.

On 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乾燥剤が吸湿した状態で組み付けられたため、環境温度変化の繰り返しにより、ガス発生剤が劣化するものがある。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て、インフレータ容器が破損するおそれがある。
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。
