Concern

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Defect, as DVSA words it

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

What changed since we first read it
