• 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.

Purchased car july 2018. A/c leak in aug 2018 and march 2019; dealer locate leak. Front tire blowout within 6 months of purchase (dec 2018) traveling on freeway evening time approx 65 mph; unknown reason . Same side front tire blow out 4 months later (march 2019) driving late evening on a main boulevard traveling 25 mph and right front tire shredded; hit minor pothole both front tires had to be replaced and the car alignment corrected. 1 month later (april 2019) right rear tire loosing psi every 45 miles; dealer could not detect leak, possible valve stem. Same visit dealer replaced two rear leaking shock absorbers and noted right rear tire had uneven wear /recommend replacement; tires have 21,000 miles. I will have to return the car to the dealer for repair. The transmission has a very hard shift when i accelerate more than moderate; the hard shift causes the vehicle to pause and jar /jerk abruptly that almost seems like you hit something. I had reported the issue within 7 days of purchase and i was told amgs have hard shifts. When i insisted there was an issue a second time in march 2019; the issue was addressed and i was told it was the computer software that required an update; the update temporarily corrected the problem for approx 1 month. The vehicle has been out of service for approximately 13 days since purchased 9 months ago in july 2018.

Continental contisportcontact ssr tires side wall rip/tear (mercedes benz), this is the forth replaced tires, complained several times and falls on deaths ears. My concern if a major crash do to the tires then who is at fault. Replacing it several times is not the answer. Taking these tires off the road will saves lives. Car only has 6000 miles on it.

I have owned the car for about 14 months and driven just over 10,000 miles during that time. I have now had my fifth flat or damaged front tire since ownership occurring on both driver side and passenger side. The dealer replaces the tire, with the oem replacement, first at my cost of around $400 each and then each subsequent time for $35 under the included road hazard warranty. I have contacted the dealer and mbusa about this reoccuring issue which they state is not under recall and is an issue with the tire manufacturer. However, i fail to see how they are not responsible because they chose the oem tire supplier. In every case except one, the tire issue was caused by a relatively shallow pot hole or pavement defect. The one exception was when i came in contact with a more substantial pot hole at night (i didn't see it) and the tire blew out completely and i had to abandon the car overnight until the dealer could tow it the next day. One time, the car was traveling at highway speeds, but other times it was on back roads at speeds of no more than 35-40 mph. The tires are run flat tires and the car has no spare so i am reluctant to drive at night and definitely cannot take on any trips for fear of getting stranded.

New vehicle with under 1000 total mileage. Internal pressure control valve in transmission failed causing major damage to transmission with metal shaving found in transmission pan. Transmission and faulty valve needed to be replaced under warranty.
