⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because in some vehicles the passengers’ airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure if the airbag deploys in an impact. The increased internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture and metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, possibly causing an injury to vehicle occupants.
