II. Background

Due to improper assembly of the airbag inflator, which is incorporated into the SRS airbag assembly (Side Airbag, Curtain Side Airbag or Driver Knee Airbag), some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper airbag deployment. In this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the airbag when the SRS system is activated during a collision.
