Defect summary

On May 18, 2015, Takata Corporation (Takata) determined that some model PSPI-L passenger frontal air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag module for certain model year 2004-2007 Honda Accord vehicles and certain model year 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla, Matrix and Pontiac Vibe vehicles, 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. On December 15, 2015, Takata filed an expansion to include additional PSPI-L inflators installed in certain model year 2005-2008 Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles.

Consequence

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger’s frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to determine 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: This recall is being conducted in phases, with the first phase to address vehicles sold or ever registered in the areas of high absolute humidity and that have indicated the highest risk in testing and field experience. These areas include: Florida, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii, the outlying U.S. territories, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi.
