The propellant may deteriorate over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. If the airbag is deployed, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to burst and metal fragments could pass through the cushion material causing injury to occupants. Production: 2008 - 2009. Types: e1*2001/116*0174*##; e1*2001/116*0301*##.
The propellant used in the airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured in 2007.. Types: e1*2001/116*0307*##, e1*2001/116*0510*##, Types: 3C, 6R.
