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 will be contacted by phone and in writing. Owners should then contact American Vehicle Sales via the website at https://american.com.au/contact-american-vehicle-sales/ to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge. Consumers who are unsure whether they are affected, can contact American Vehicle Sales on 03 9765 1300. We also recommend you visit https://www.productsafety.gov.au/newsletter/subscribe to subscribe to receive updates about current and future recalls as they are published.
