II. BACKGROUND
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. The propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.
III. IDENTIFICATION OF AFFECTED VEHICLES
• Check the TIS Vehicle Inquiry System to confirm the VIN is involved in this Safety Recall, and that the campaign has not already been completed prior to dealer shipment or by another dealer.
• TMS warranty will not reimburse dealers for repairs conducted on vehicles that are not affected or were completed by another dealer.

VI. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CRITICAL INFORMATION – READ THOROUGHLY
Failure to follow these procedures correctly could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing or the SRS may fail to operate correctly when required after reassembly. Confirm all work is performed as described in these instructions.
1. ELIMINATE STATIC ELECTRICITY
a) Before starting work and periodically while working on the vehicle, touch a metallic part of the vehicle to discharge static electricity in the body.
2. DO NOT MEASURE RESISTANCE
a) DO NOT measure resistance of airbag components, this may cause accidental activation.
3. HANDLE THE AIRBAG CAREFULLY
a) If an inflator is dropped, replace it with a NEW inflator.
4. DO NOT ALLOW FOREIGN OBJECTS NEAR AIRBAG
a) Be sure to collect and account for all removed nuts/bolts to prevent them from landing in the airbag assembly.
b) Any foreign objects in the airbag assembly may cause damage or injury if the airbag is activated.
5. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
a) Always wear appropriate protective equipment when working on the SRS.
10
VII. SRS SYSTEM HEALTH CHECK
1. PERFORM A HEALTH CHECK
a) Confirm the Techstream is connected to the dealership’s internet.
b) When launching the Techstream software the VIN MAY NEED to be entered manually depending upon model year.
NOTE: All letters of the VIN MUST be entered in ALL CAPS, or the VIN will need to be reentered when running the diagnostic report.
