An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger vehicles (Mercedes-Benz C180 Kompressor and others) - Repair. Due to a defect in the airbag system (inflator). ■ Defective part (component name): Airbag system (inflator). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards and its cause: In certain front passenger airbag inflators (inflation devices), if protection against moisture absorption by the gas-generating agent was inadequate, repeated temperature changes in a high-humidity environment may cause the gas-generating agent to deteriorate. Consequently, the inflator housing may rupture when the airbag deploys. Published 2016-11-30.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2414 ■ Corrective measures: Replace the airbag unit on all vehicles with a remedied unit. Because preparing the remedied units will take time, first notify all users by direct mail. Once the remedied units are ready, contact users again, beginning with users of older model-year vehicles, and perform the replacement.
