Defect
Inadequate moisture protection in the driver-side airbag inflator allows the propellant to absorb moisture. If the propellant undergoes repeated moisture absorption and drying cycles during service, the airbag may fail to deploy normally when activated.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the driver-side airbag inflator with an alternative part as a precautionary measure. Owners will be notified again to schedule the part replacement once parts are available.
