## What is wrong

Issue:

This recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator inspection as a part of Transport Canada Recall No. 2015\-210, but the airbag inflator was not replaced. This recall will re\-inspect the airbag inflator and provides a replacement of the inflator, if needed.

Long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger\-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.

Safety Risk:

If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger\-front airbag inflator.

Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
