The problem

The airbag propellant could deteriorate when subjected to high humidity and significant temperature fluctuations. When the airbag deploys, the gas generator could burst projecting metal parts inside the vehicle. This poses a risk of injury to the vehicle’s occupants.

The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
