    Air Bags / Frontal / Driver Side / Inflator Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata (TK Global LLC) is recalling certain Non-Azide driver-side air bag inflators (NADI). These inflators were used by certain vehicle manufacturers and included in recall expansions under NHTSA numbers 21V-401 and 21V-470. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to explode or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    During air bag deployment, an inflator explosion may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Takata will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers who have filed their own recalls, and their dealers will replace the inflators, free of charge.

    Air Bags / Frontal / Driver Side / Inflator Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Honda and Nissan are recalling vehicles manufactured with Takata Corporation (Takata) PSDI-5D driver air bag inflators. Due to a manufacturing error, the air bag inflator may not function properly or the inflator may explode in the event of a crash that necessitates driver air bag deployment.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Takata will work with affected OEM's who will be replacing the driver frontal air bag module, free of charge. The recall began March 30, 2020. Owners may contact Takata customer service at 1-248-373-8040.

    Air Bags / Frontal

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain PSPI, PSPI-2, PSPI-6, PSPI-L, SPI, PSDI, PSDI-4, PSDI-5, and SDI non-desiccated, frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Numerous vehicle recalls will be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers who will conduct recalls to replace the interim replacement air bag inflators with alternate ones as a permanent remedy. The recall began January 2, 2020.

    Air Bags / Frontal / Driver Side / Inflator Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata (TK Global LLC) is recalling certain Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI). These inflators were used in some brands of 1995-2000 vehicles and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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. The recall began November 19, 2019.

    Air Bags / Side/Window

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain seat-mounted, SSI-20 design type, Side Air Bag Inflators manufactured December 13, 2014, to December 14, 2014. A suspected manufacturing error during production of certain inflator lots may result in unusually high pressures in the inflators upon deployment of the side air bags. This over pressure could cause the inflator to rupture, causing metal fragments to be propelled into the passenger compartment.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Takata is working with the vehicle manufacturers that used these inflators in their vehicles. Those manufacturers are contacting their vehicle owners and their dealers will replace the seat-mounted side air bag inflators, free of charge. General Motors vehicles are covered by recall 15V-666 and Volkswagen vehicles are covered by recall 16V-045.

    Air Bags / Frontal / Driver Side / Inflator Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain SDI driver-side air bag inflators manufactured from start of production (January 1, 2002) through production impacting up through model year 2014 vehicles, and assembled as part of the driver-side frontal air bag modules in certain Audi, Ford, Mazda, Sprinter and Volkswagen vehicles. These inflators, 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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to identify 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: Ford has already launched a recall campaign to remedy their affected vehicles under recall number 16V-036.

    Air Bags / Frontal / Driver Side / Inflator Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata Corporation (Takata) is recalling certain PSDI-5 air bag inflators manufactured from start of production (January 1, 2003), through production impacting up through model year 2014 vehicles, assembled as part of the driver-side frontal air bag modules in certain Audi, BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Toyota and Volkswagen vehicles. These inflators, 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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to identify 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: Toyota has already launched a recall campaign to address their vehicles under recall number 15V-284. Additionally, inflators installed as part of a prior recall remedy are not affected by this recall.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Takata Corporation (Takata) has determined that certain SDI-X air bag inflators, manufactured June 16, 2008, to June 20, 2014, may have been manufactured with an incorrect outer baffle.
