An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Volkswagen Polo 1.0/70kW and others) - Repair.

Consequently, if the dashboard is cold in a low-temperature environment (-15℃ or below), deployment of the front passenger airbag during a collision or similar event may cause the cover to detach from the dashboard and damage the windshield.
