What the notice says today
The defect
Under certain climatic conditions, a chemical change may occur over time in the propulsion gas of the gas generator of certain Takata airbags. (Dutch: Bij bepaalde klimaatomstandigheden kan na verloop van tijd een chemische verandering ontstaan in het drijfgas van de gasgenerator van bepaalde Takata-airbags.)
The consequence
In the event of an accident in which the airbag is activated, this change may cause the gas generator to crack due to an increased internal pressure. (Dutch: Bij een ongeval waarbij de airbag wordt geactiveerd, kan deze verandering ertoe kunnen leiden dat de gasgenerator scheurt als gevolg van een verhoogde interne druk. In dat geval zou de airbag geen beschermende werking hebben en zouden de inzittenden verwondingen kunnen oplopen doordat de delen van de gasgenerator loskomen.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to make an appointment with a brand dealer who will replace the driver’s airbag. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht een afspraak te maken met een merkdealer. Deze zal de bestuurdersairbag vervangen.)
