The head air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint, which can cause gas to leak from the inflator or result in an inflator rupture.
What can happen
An inflator that ruptures may cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, an inflator that leaks gas may only partially inflate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
