Type
Injuries
Category
Motor vehicles
Hazard
The inflator in the driver airbag has a laser-welded internal seal (left side) that may not reliably hold during deployment. This may lead to a risk that the airbag module could become separated from the steering wheel when it is activated. This can cause metal fragments to be projected at great speed through the airbag into the interior of the vehicle, which can result in serious and even fatal injuries for the occupants.
Origin
Luxembourg
