AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Published January 25, 2016 · Recall initiated: January 25, 2016
What's the hazard
Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain SDI driver-side air bag inflators manufactured from start of production (January 1, 2002) through production impacting up through model year 2014 vehicles, and assembled as part of the driver-side frontal air bag modules in certain Audi, Ford, Mazda, Sprinter and Volkswagen vehicles. These inflators, used as original or replacement equipment during service, may rupture from exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity and/or due to manufacturing variability.
What to do
Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to identify into which vehicles the affected inflators were installed either as original or replacement equipment during service. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. NHTSA will supply this information as soon as possible. NOTE: Ford has already launched a recall campaign to remedy their affected vehicles under recall number 16V-036.
