2010-11 model year Saab Mk.2 9-5 Sedan: Takata airbag recall
In April 2018, a recall was issued for 2010-11 model year Saab 9-5 Sedans. In these vehicles, the front driver’s airbag was produced by Takata and contained phase-stabilised ammonium nitrate without desiccant. Over time, the airbag inflator propellant could absorb moisture and, in the event of deployment, excessive internal pressure in the airbag inflator housing could cause it to rupture. If this occurred, metallic fragments could be propelled through the airbag cushion towards vehicle occupants; these fragments posed a serious risk of injury and fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16729.
