AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Issued by Takata (TK Global LLC) · Reported Jan 2, 2020 · 10,000,000 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain PSPI, PSPI-2, PSPI-6, PSPI-L, SPI, PSDI, PSDI-4, PSDI-5, and SDI non-desiccated, frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Consequence
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy
Numerous vehicle recalls will be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers who will conduct recalls to replace the interim replacement air bag inflators with alternate ones as a permanent remedy. The recall began January 2, 2020.
