• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  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.

"takata recall" still awaiting repair of driver frontal airbag nhtsa recall # 16v081 mercedes benz keeps telling me they don't have the part to make the repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz r350. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to maneuver to the side of the road. After two minutes, the vehicle restarted normally, but the engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Takata recall. I checked my vin immediately following the announcement of the takata recall in 2016, and found that my car is impacted by this recall. I then contacted the local mercedes dealer to schedule the airbags replacement, but was advised that they will contact me once they receive the replacement air bags. I kept checking with them every 3 months, but received the same response. I just received a notice that takata filed recently for chapter 11 in the us. I would like to understand file a complaint against mercedes benz usa for neglecting to replace the airbag in my car, and force the company to replace the air bag free of charge as part of this recall,

"takata recall" to date mercedes benz still has no timeline or date to replace the defective driver side airbag on my vehicle. This critical safety related recall is officially almost 2-years old and to not have parts yet and or a timeline is irresponsible. Now we are receiving bankruptcy "chapter 11" notices for "takata" under "case no. 17-11375 (bls)". This said notice advises us to call our dealer to have parts replaced; only to have the dealer and mercedes corporate to inform that there are no parts! What is this? This is how we consumers and our safety are protected? Do we have to wait for a catastrophe before this is addressed and corrected? Please advise as to how we are going to get our vehicle repaired and safe. Look forward to your reply and guidance that to this point is completely lacking.

Car was hit by a pot hole around 2 inches deep on the passenger side. Immediately there was a loud noise and all the side airbags on the driver side deployed. There was no signs of damage to the tires and not even a scratch to the body.

Takata recall i have repeatedly received mail that my r350 has had a safety recall that urgently needs to be addressed. For over a year i have been contacting my dealer and i am told that the parts are not available. According to takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may resultin injury or death to vehicle occupants. Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available remedy once parts are available customers will be sent a letter asking them to go to an authorized mercedes benz dealer who will replace the driver side front airbag of the potentially affected vehicles. Recall campaign 2016020003 owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-877-496-3691

Takata recall we have been notified in february of 2016 and it is now november of 2016 and still no parts. We can't sell the car because i don't want to pass the problem onto another person and mercedes won't give us a loaner so we have a potential risk. Telling us that it is a minimal risk doesn't help. This is beyond irresponsible! Can you please advise

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz r350. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that a valve in the engine failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

I had just arrived at church and noticed the car leaning to the right side. I ignored it at first thinking maybe the driveway was uneven. When i got ready to leave my boyfriend pointed it out to me that the truck was leaning to the right. I took it to a shop to be checked out and they couldn't figure it out. There was no message regarding anything on the message board except service c was so many miles overdue. Called mercedes and they told me rear air bag. Cost would be around $1600. Cant understand why the dealer would not put a recall fir this problem. *tr
