An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Honda Gold Wing) - Repair. Due to an airbag system (inflator) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Airbag system (inflator). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed defective: In the motorcycle airbag inflator (inflation device), repeated changes in ambient temperature and humidity may cause the gas-generating propellant to deteriorate. Consequently, when the airbag deploys, the inflator's internal pressure may rise abnormally, potentially rupturing the inflator housing. Published 2016-06-09.
What to do now
(Improvement campaign) 498 ■ Improvement measures: On all vehicles, replace the motorcycle airbag module with a corrective part. Because preparing the parts will take time, as a temporary interim measure, disable the airbag, illuminate the airbag warning light, and display a warning on the airbag module cover indicating that this airbag will not operate.
