Description (français)

Dans l'éventualité d'un accident entraînant le déploiement du sac gonflable du côté du conducteur, le module de gonflage peut se fendre, ce qui empêcherait le sac de se gonfler. De plus, le bris du module peut permettre d'échappement dans l'habitacle de gaz chauds qui pourraient causer les brûlures aux occupants.
