2012 Opel Astra Common Problems

Known issues & solutions
Model Years:
Problem:

A172126071 - ZPSR - Product Safety Recall - GM Holden Takata Airbag Recall - Opel Astra-J

Some Takata airbag inflators are made with non-desiccated Phase Stabilised Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) as a propellant. As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.

Solution:

GM Holden dealers will replace the driver’s side frontal airbag module assembly
