- Non-desiccated inflators prone to explosion. Recall 20V008000 includes 307,962 vehicles equipped with non-desiccated passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate. Exposure to heat and humidity may cause inflator explosions, sending metal fragments that could seriously injure or kill passengers. The recall remedy replaces inflators with safer alternatives, beginning February 12, 2020.
- Passenger side air bag inflator defect. Recall 17V028000 affects 152,554 vehicles with passenger air bag inflators susceptible to rupture from propellant degradation.
