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
- Owners of affected vehicles should contact Victorian American Imports on 03 5176 0600 to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator, free of charge. When parts become available consumers will be advised by Victorian American Imports to organise an inspection and repair of the vehicle.
