Front passenger side airbag inflators
7 affected vehicles
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 Salstrip International Pty Ltd by phone on
0418 240 837 or via email at suv@suv.net.au to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator, free of charge.
When parts become available consumers will be advised by Salstrip International Pty Ltd to organise an inspection and repair of the vehicle, free of charge.
