DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT FOR PSDI-5D DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATORS

April 3, 2020

 

TK Global LLC

 

TAKATA PSDI-5D DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATORS CONTAINING 2004 PSAN PROPELLANT AND 13X DESICCANT

 

 

Number potentially involved: 

Approximately 1,318,212 inflators[1]

 

Estimated Percentage of involved with defect:

1%  

 

Describe the defect or non-compliance: 

TK Global is submitting this DIR per NHTSA’s requirements as a result of two vehicle manufacturers, HondaeBay logo and NissaneBay logo, having submitted DIRs for similar Takata produced PSDI-5D inflators.  These inflators used 2004 PSAN propellant and 13X desiccant.

HondaeBay logo and NissaneBay logo have issued DIRs, 19V-182 and 20V-188 respectively, for Takata PSDI-5D inflators that were manufactured in Monclova, Mexico.  Both vehicle manufacturers have pointed to potential manufacturing process issues, specific to PSDI-5D inflator manufacturing lines that were in the Takata Monclova, Mexico facility.  Similar Takata PSDI-5D inflators were produced as remedy kits in Freiberg, Germany.  Those inflators were produced with different manufacturing processes and controls and have not exhibited these concerns.

 

Describe the safety risk: 

HondaeBay logo and NissaneBay logo have cited possible manufacturing process anomalies on Takata PSDI-5D inflators that were produced in Monclova, Mexico.  The issues may cause the inflator to function improperly or may cause the inflator to rupture.  TK Global is aware of two HondaeBay logo PSDI-5D field ruptures and is not aware of any NissaneBay logo PSDI-5D inflator field concerns.  There have not been any field returned PSDI-5D inflator test ruptures.

An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.

The subject Takata inflators, made in Monclova, Mexico, were installed as original equipment or remedy inflators in vehicles sold in the United States by the following vehicle manufacturers (listed alphabetically):

American HondaeBay logo Motor Co.
1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746
Phone: (310) 783-2000

 

NissaneBay logo North America Inc.
PO Box 685001
Franklin, TN 37068-5009
Phone: (615) 725-3111

 

Chronology:

April 10, 2018: HondaeBay logo confirmed a PSDI-5D remedy inflator ruptured in a MY2004 HondaeBay logo Odyssey.  The vehicle was repaired with the remedy inflator in May 2015.

April 2018 – February 2019: TK Global and HondaeBay logo conducted an extensive investigation.  The precise root cause for the field rupture was not able to be determined.  The investigation revealed potential PSDI-5D manufacturing line process issues with inflators built in Monclova, Mexico that could potentially lead to an inflator rupture.  Status update meetings were conducted with NHTSA and NissaneBay logo accordingly.

March 8, 2019: HondaeBay logo issued DIR 19V-182 to address a “potential manufacturing process anomaly”.

March 29, 2019: HondaeBay logo confirmed a PSDI-5D remedy inflator ruptured in a MY2006 Accord.  The vehicle had been repaired with the remedy inflator in July 2015.

March 2019 – March 2020: TK Global continued to analyze field returned PSDI-5D inflators produced in Monclova and Freiberg, Germany.  PSDI-5D inflators manufactured in Freiberg, Germany, used different production processes and controls and they do not exhibit similar concerns to what was observed in some Monclova produced PSDI-5D inflators.

March 30, 2020: NissaneBay logo issued DIR 20V-188 to address “a manufacturing process issue at the Takata Monclova, Mexico plant”.

March 31, 2020: NHTSA requested that TK Global submit a DIR per 49 CFR 573.3.

 

Describe the defect / noncompliance remedy program:

All vehicle recalls are being handled by HondaeBay logo and NissaneBay logo, respectively.
