A172126079 - ZPSR - Product Safety Recall - GM Holden Takata Airbag - Saab 9-3/9-5
NOTE: Following guidance received from the ACCC Saab 9-3/9-5 vehicles manufactured between July 2005 and January 2011 have been re-classified as being under Critical Recall. These are vehicles that are open in GWM and are greater than 6 years old. 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.
GM Holden dealers will replace the driver’s side frontal airbag module assembly.
