The defect
Investigations have revealed that a windowbag with a defective gas diffuser may have been installed in the vehicle and must be replaced. The diffuser connects the gas generator to the airbag and distributes the expanding air into the airbag following ignition. A faulty diffuser may have irregularities in its composition and hairline cracks which could lead to premature breakage of the diffuser when the airbag is triggered. In a worst case scenario the gas generator can separate from the windowbag module and the airbag is insufficiently inflated. In addition, this separation may also cause parts of the windowbag module or the vehicle's interior panelling to be ejected at high speed into the passenger compartment.
The hazard
Malfunction.
