Front passenger side airbag inflators
1 affected vehicle
Reasons the product is recalled
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.
The hazards to consumers
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.
What consumers should do
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.
