What is wrong
Autoliv, Inc. (Autoliv) is recalling certain AI2 Air Bag Initiators manufactured June 16, 2016, to November 4, 2016. The affected initiators could contain an improper generant mix ratio that may prevent the air bags from deploying properly in the event of a crash.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, air bags that fail to deploy properly increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Autoliv has notified the vehicle manufacturers that used the affected initiators and the automakers will file new recalls as necessary. Owners may contact Autoliv at 1-248-276-0722. Note: This recall expands the population of initiators previously recalled under 16E-095.
