• 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 2011 mercedes benz glk350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the brakes erroneously activated causing the vehicle speed to slow down. After stopping to inspect the vehicle smoke was present coming from both the driver and passenger side rear wheels. The vehicle was driven to the local dealer mercedes benz of sarasota located at 4754 clark rd, sarasota, fl 34233 who diagnosed that the abs module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 148,603.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz glk350. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the contact started to smell fuel fumes inside the cab of the vehicle. The contact stated she was able to drive to her destination. The vehicle was taken to local dealer mercedes-benz of san francisco located at 500 8th st, san francisco, ca 94103, (415) 673-2000, however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact continued to experience the failure and saw fuel leaking inside of the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 12v557000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of failure.

The vehicle did not pass inspection showing a small fuel leak. I noticed a smell of fuel odor coming from outside parked vehicle and noticed a leak coming from underneath the vehicle as well. It appears to leak the most when the gas is full. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel leak with the fuel pump. The certified mechanic informed the contact that their failure was related to nhtsa campaign number 12v557000 (fuel system, gasoline). I contacted park place mercedes of grapevine, tx, phone number 843-815-0300) who informed me my vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000. This issue seem to be wider than the initial recall sample. This is very dangerous. *tr
