Country	Saudi Arabia
Category	Automotive
Published	2024-08-22
Models affected	Ranger (2004 To 2006)
Units affected	2
Defect	In all of the affected vehicles, Takata has determined that the propellant wafers in the airbag inflators may experience an alteration over time, which could potentially lead to an over-aggressive combustion in the event of a crash that requires airbag deployment. This potential condition could create excessive internal pressure when the airbag is deployed, which could result in the body of the inflator rupturing upon deployment increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
