Details of the Airbag Inflator Defect
The issue centers on the left-side or right-side roof rail airbag inflator end cap, which may detach from the inflator. In some instances, the inflator sidewall may rupture.
If the end cap detaches or the inflator ruptures, compressed gas can escape and propel the end cap or inflator fragments into the cabin. This condition increases the risk of injury to occupants.
