NHTSA Campaign 19E001000

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Issued by Takata (TK Global LLC) · Reported Jan 2, 2019 · 1,000,000 vehicles affected

What's wrong

TK Global LLC (Takata) has decided that certain PSPI, PSPI-1.1, PSPI-2, PSPI-6, PSPI-L, and SPI air bag inflators assembled as part of the frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment (such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags) may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling. This recall addresses model year 2014 and newer vehicles ever registered in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Consequence

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to determine into which vehicles the affected inflators were installed either as original or replacement equipment during service. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. The recall began on January 2, 2019. Vehicles registered outside of these states may be covered by recalls 19E-002 or 19E-003.
