An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda Fit Aria) - 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: Some front passenger airbag inflators (inflation devices) contain gas generant with insufficient density due to an improper gas generant molding process or inadequate measures to prevent moisture absorption after molding. When the airbag deploys, internal inflator pressure may therefore rise abnormally, causing the inflator housing to rupture and scatter fragments, potentially causing a fire or injuring occupants. Published 2015-10-01.
What to do now
