Risk Description
The propellant airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after long-term exposure to humidity and may cause the front passenger airbag module to explode when an airbag deploys. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
