The risk
The driver-side airbag inflator could rupture during deployment and not fully inflate. In addition, the release of high-pressured gas may propel pieces of the inflator and airbag module into the occupant compartment. This could increase the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
