• 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.

• Engine stall, fuel delivery failure investigation # PE12032

  In a letter dated april 3, 2013, chrysler group llc submitted a defect information report (dir) to nhtsa identifying a safety defect in the fuel delivery system in approximately 20,532 model year (my) 2012 jeep patriot (11,624) and compass (8,908) vehicles manufactured from october 18, 2011 through may 7, 2012 and equipped with certain fuel tanks produced between october 18, 2011 and january 26, 2012 (recall 13v-120).According to chrysler, jeep patriot and compass vehicles equipped with saddle type fuel tanks built during the affected period may experience low siphoning rate through the transfer tube from the secondary to the primary side of the fuel tank.Chryslers investigation determined that a material change by the transfer tube supplier (ti automotive) led to malformed tubes being shipped to the final tank assembly supplier (kautex).The malformed transfer tubes may make the siphoning process more difficult to start and maintain under certain operating conditions.Sustained driving during this condition may deplete fuel in the primary side of the fuel tank and lead to engine stall without warning.Kautex established a 100% sort on january 26, 2012 as a countermeasure for the malformed tubes being used in production.Chrysler is able to trace fuel tank build dates by vehicle identification number and recall 13v-120 only includes vehicles equipped withsaddle tanks made during the affected period.Approximately 97 percent of the recalled patriot vehicles (11,277 out of 11,624) were from october 18, 2011 through january 26, 2012.Chrysler determined that a few suspect tanks were used on vehicles produced as late as may 7, 2012 and is including any such vehicles in the recall.The office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed complaint data provided by chrysler as well as complaints submitted to odi from consumers to identify stalling incidents related to fuel delivery.Odis analysis identified a total of 64 engine stall incidents related to fuel delivery, all of which involved patriot 4x4 vehicles equipped with saddle type fuel tanks.The patriot 4x4 vehicles account for a little over half of the subject vehicle population (59,783 vehicles).Forty-nine (49) of the incidents involved the approximately 11,277 patriot 4x4 vehicles that were built from october 18, 2011 and january 26, 2012 and equipped with tanks from the period associated with the transfer tube material change.This equates to a complaint rate of 434.5 incidents per 100,000 vehicles sold.Fifteen (15) fuel delivery related engine stalls were identified in the remaining 48,506 patriot 4x4 vehicles, resulting in a complaint rate of 30.9 incidents per 100,000 vehicles.The rate in the non-recalled patriot 4x4 vehicles increases to 68.0 incidents per 100,000 vehicles if stalls with no-restart and unknown cause are added to the analysis.The patriot front-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with single reservoir fuel tanks and are not affected by the saddle-tank fuel delivery issue.Owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified to take their vehicle to a jeep dealer, who will replace the fuel tank transfer tube to prevent any incidents related to this issue. Chrysler will begin notifying dealers and owners in may 2013. This preliminary evaluation is closed.The odi reports cited above can be viewed at www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers (odi nos.): 10481572, 10481452, 10481279, 10481254, 10481222, 10481141, 10481126, 10481110, 10501057, 10478934, 10472705, 10470121, 10468517, 10467488, 10466357, 10464745, 10464449, 10464135, 10462338, 10459383, 10421019, 10410937, 10481392.

Took jeep patriot to firestone service center for full inspection. Upon completion of inspection was told by the tech that my vehicle had severe underbody rust/ rot and that the front and rear crossmembers needed to be replaced among many other components needed repair/replaced such as complete brake job, cv axles, gas tank bracket and two seized lug/studs. Apparently, fca has a warranty extension called x69 bulletin that repairs the crossmembers for rust/rot but it is only for vehicles manufactured before 24 january 2012. My vehicle was manufactured on may 2012. This is unacceptable. It is clear that this issue was not rectified for vehicles manufactured after 24 january 2012 and this issue should be subject to a full recall and not a narrow warranty extension. Broken/compromised crossmembers could result at a minimum of vehicle destruction and serious injury to driver/passengers and a maximum loss of life due to this manufacturing defect. The nhtsa should act accordingly and force fca to start a recall immediately.
