Known Recall Investigations

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 bmw 650i. While driving various speeds, several components in the engine leaked, including the oil. Also, the check oil indicator illuminated and smoke appeared under the hood while the vehicle was in drive. The vehicle was taken to bmw of riverside (3060 adams st, riverside, ca 92504, (951) 373-5000) and bmw of murrieta (41430 auto mall pkwy, murrieta, ca 92562, (951) 200-5491). Both dealers informed the contact that all repairs would be her responsibility. The manufacturer was informed and provided the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 137,857.

Receive a "passenger restraint system" failure. Bmw el cajon dealership diagnosed problem as passenger occupancy seat mat sensor. This is a very serious issue. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash. This know bmw issue develops cracks and could lead to a system failure. If the electronic sensing mat in the front passenger seat fails, this will disable the front passenger air bag and the air bag will not deploy during a crash. The known bmw defective seat sensor is well documented200,000 bmws recalled in 2008, 77,000 in 2013, and 2,158 in 2017. I request you issue a recall for all 2012 bmw 650i's asap to prevent this ineffective safety system from causing property damage, injury or death.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 bmw 650i. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal odor appeared inside the cabin of the vehicle. The contact noticed black exhaust coming from the tailpipe. The contact that that the oil tube was refilled every 80 to 100 miles. The vehicle was taken to bmw of bayside (24721 northern blvd, douglaston, ny 11362) diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle then was taken to another dealer where a diagnostic test was still pending. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 12v161000 (engine and engine cooling) as a possible solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
