OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
13E017000
Air Bags
Reported Apr 11, 2013 · TAKATA CORPORATION
Summary
Takata has determined that the inflators in certain frontal passenger-side air bag inflators it manufactured and supplied to various vehicle manufacturers may produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflators to rupture upon deployment of the air bag.
Consequence
In the event of a crash resulting in a deployment of the passenger's air bag, the inflator could rupture, with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the passenger seat occupant or other occupants.
Remedy
Owners of all vehicles on which a defective air bag may have been installed either as original equipment, or as a replacement, will be notified by their respective vehicle manufacturers. Dealers will inspect vehicles, and where a defective air bag inflator is identified, the inflator will be replaced, free of charge. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer for more information.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
