Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure. In the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
- Recommendations
- The owner of the affected vehicle should contact American Vehicle Specialists by phone on 03 9070 6222 or via email at admin@independenceautomotive.com.au to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.
