Takata (TK Global, LLC) — Driver's Frontal Air Bag Inflator may Rupture
Takata (TK Global, LLC)
Hazard
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the incorrect baffle may block the flow of the propellant to the air bag and the air bag's inflator may rupture. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to determine into which vehicles the affected inflators were installed either as original equipment, replacement equipment, or as a recall remedy part. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. NHTSA will supply this information as soon as possible.
