What’s wrong
It has been identified that vehicles equipped with a single stage inflator driver�s front air bag then there is a possibility that the density of the propellant in the inflator could be reduced over time from the effects of high temperature cycling and moisture within the propellant and its sealed container. This may cause the propellant to degrade which if this occurs then the inflator could rupture in the event of the deployment of the driver�s front air bag.
The fix
Recall all affected vehicle to replace the driver's front air bag.
