• 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 r350. The contact took the vehicle to lober mercedes-benz (4255 west touhy avenue, lincolnwood, il 60712, (847)-675-1000) to be repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v081000 (air bags). When the contact arrived at the dealer for the scheduled repair, the dealer stated that the part was not available. The contact stated that the driver's side air bag indicator illuminated. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

"takata recall" for a year and a half, i have been trying to have my car repaired, but mercedes benz here in reno (and fairfield, california as well) has refused to repair it with the statement that parts are not available. I have called the service department and been told the parts are in stock. I have made appointments, but when i show up for the repair, i am told parts are not available. This month, june 4, 2019, i showed up for an appointment made in connection with the recall notice and was told the parts were not available. On june 14, i had an appointment in fairfield, california; i showed up; and again was told no parts are available. I had another appointment on june 24; but again, i received a call from v. Cruz of mercedes benz and told no parts are available. This process has been going for a year and a half. Of late, i have received e-mail notices (second notice, recall reminder, third notice, recall reminder) of which i have made appointments (as described above) but only to be turned away with the statement, no parts are available. It is very disheartening to know there is a dangerous condition in my car that could injure my grandchildren or loved ones and to be subject to the kind of games that mercedes benz seems to be playing. On one hand, they send out notices as if they are doing all they can to take care of the recall problem; but on the other hand, they consistently do nothing. I would like to know my options. How serious is the recall? Am i placing my grandchildren and loved ones at risk? Please let me know. And thank you in advance for giving this matter your attention.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz r350. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v081000 (air bags). An unknown dealer was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall remedy remains unavailable. Letters from mercedes benz claimed that the remedy would be available in june 2018. Well, they first said march 2018, then said that was an error. Thinking is hard. It is june 2018, and no remedy. Mercedes continues to produce and earn money on tens of thousands of vehicles each month. They could not be inconvenienced to produce parts for their old buckets of junk that may save customers' lives. This is mercedes after all. A cold actuarial calculation of delaying this recall so that some of the cars are salvaged versus any lawsuits resulting from injured customers. Mercedes, i hope that your abysmal approach to making and standing behind vehicles is exposed. We will never buy another of this make. Nhtsa, you continue to be one of the lowest performing government agencies in the history of humanity. Congratulations. How does it feel to capitulate to automakers' every whim at the expense of american lives? I hope that it does not feel good, or at least that you feel something.

Takata recall. 24 months after the initial recall, we still have shrapnel in our dash. Mercedes claims a fix is coming 'soon' and that nhtsa granted them an extension to complete a final remedy. Notably, mercedes has been able to manufacture hundreds of thousands of new vehicles in those 24 months, but they cannot manufacture replacement airbags? Nhtsa is weak and ineffectual. Mercedes is apathetic and criminal. I am certain their actuarials calculated the cost benefit of a delayed recall r pair and presented the board with the least expensive path forward. Criminal. Evil. Unrestrained.

Takata recall

Takata recall twenty-two months and counting!! Manufacturer has not produced replacement parts, and recall cannot be completed due to unavailable remedy. Interesting that mercedes benz has continued to produce and sell millions of vehicles in that time, but they cannot produce new airbags.

Takata recall: this vehicle was involved in a recall campaign for over 12 months and was never repaired due to lack of available parts. The nhtsa vin lookup tool now lists no active recall on the vehicle. Why not? When will parts be available? How could ke this possibly be taking so long? Perhaps it been so long that nhtsa's long-term memory has failed.

Please note: this is not a specific complaint about my vehicle. It is calling to light an issue common to most or all vehicles on the road. Because there are now so many options for lighting, e.G. Headlamps, daytime running lights, etc. It is my impression that many drivers now have no idea if their tail lights are on or off at any given time. I think there is a serous national issue, especially around dawn and dusk, w/ respect to seeing the back ends of other vehicles. Nhtsa should consider requiring auto manufacturers to include dashboard indicators showing the driver exactly the status of both front and rear lights illumination (or not) at all times.
