An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Ford Mustang and others) - Repair. Defective airbag system (inflator). ■ Defective component (part name): Airbag system (inflator). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed not to comply with standards: In the front passenger's airbag inflator (inflation device), repeated temperature changes in a high-humidity environment may cause the gas-generating agent to deteriorate. Consequently, when the airbag deploys, the inflator housing may rupture and scatter components, potentially injuring occupants. Published 2019-04-01.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2820 ■ Corrective measures: Replace the front passenger's airbag inflator with an improved part in all vehicles. Because inflators deteriorate when exposed to temperature changes over a long period, replacement with improved parts will proceed in order, starting with older model-year vehicles.
