Risk assessment information
Risk type category:
- Injuries
Risk type subcategory:
Risk description: Uncured PSAN (phase stabilized ammonium nitrate) was used as a propellant for the driver's airbag, which can change over time and be exposed to very high temperature/humidity amplitudes. This can cause gas to build up more quickly than designed when the airbag inflates during a crash. Such potential energetic activation can cause metal fragments from the rupture/inflation to be released, which could be propelled towards the driver/passenger of the vehicle, potentially causing serious injury.
