General product safetyDue to inappropriate production/storage of the propellant in the inflator of the passenger-side airbag, the density of the propellant may be insufficient. As a result, the propellant may ignite abnormally at the time of airbag deployment, which may result in extremely high inner pressure of the inflator and a rupture of the inflator case.
