The risk
In the event that the driver's airbag is deployed during a frontal impact, small holes may appear on the surface of the airbag. The holes are caused by high temperature gas from the airbag inflator exhausting directly onto the surface of the airbag material. Contact of the high temperature gas / airbag material with the driver’s skin can cause burns.
