An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Mercedes-Benz C180 and others) - Repair. Airbag system (inflator) defect. ■ Defective part (part name): Airbag system (inflator). ■ Condition of the structure, system or performance considered 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. As a result, the inflator housing may rupture when the airbag deploys. Published 2018-03-29.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2630 ■ Corrective measures: Replace the airbag unit with an improved part in all vehicles. Because preparing the improved parts will take time, all users will first be notified by direct mail. Once the improved parts are ready, users will be contacted again, starting with users of older model-year vehicles, and replacement work will be performed.
