• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

My daytime running lights bulb failed. Upon opening up the sealed headlight bucket, i discovered that the positive and negative wires' insulation was brittle, cracked, and missing in places, potentially allowing for a short to and possibly a fire to occur.

Was dismissed by bmw stating that my vehicle does not fall under the safety recall 17v-683 ' positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater ' ('blow-by-heater'). Despite having the discribed issue which has blown 3 fuses over a period of one week. This dismissal despite the engine type and year being mentioned in the recall. Note: recall deems the vehicle unsafe and potentially harmful to me and my family.

Car caught fire parked in the driveway. Battery charger was connected. Unknown cause of what started the fire. Car had approximately 152,000 miles. Association to recall 17v676000.

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 bmw 335. While driving 55 mph, an abnormal odor drifted through the air vents and the vehicle caught on fire. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact stated that the fire was coming from the engine compartment. The local fire department extinguished the fire and a police report was filed. There were no injuries; however, the contact inhaled smoke. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 bmw 335. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v676000 (electrical system). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

I was driving my car home from work one day and the car started loosing power and when i started the car the next day it had a rough idle i have not even had the car 6 months yet. The car now back fires and i don't know what the problem is and i just want my car fixed. *tr

Takata recall. It has been 18 months since we were advised of recall and they still do not have contacted use to bring our vehicle in for repairs.

High pressure fuel pump & vacuum lines tank 1 & 2 failures. Turbocharger & waste gate failure as well, fuel sending units developed hairline fractures that cause fuel to leak on exhaust manifold likely to case a fire was told not to drive car luckily the mechanic notice the leakage. No more need to to say, you guys are aware of this do some about it please! I never purchase a bmw ever again!

Takata recall - to whom it may concern, in march 2016, bmw sent me a letter informing that under recall campaign #16v-071, my vehicle (# [xxx]) has a defective driver?S front air bag. As this is a critical safety device that could be the difference between life and death ?.. I would like this repaired immediately. In this regard, please have the woodlands, tx bmw contact me in the near term to set up this much need and critical repair. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter. Regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr
