MY 2014-2017 Holden Astra MY 2012-2013 Opel Astra MY 2014-2017 Opel/Holden Cascada MY 2013 Opel Zafira Driver's frontal airbag inflator
Why it was recalled
Takata airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of heat and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
Hazard
In the event of an airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
