Passenger airbag propellant may degrade
Reported March 20, 2026Model years 2007–2013DVSA recall R/2026/1321 vehicle affected

Official DVSA recall text
Component
Passenger airbag inflator
Defect
The front passenger airbag inflator (PAB) may contain propellant that could possibly degrade over a period of time. This may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed which may result in injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a deployment event.
Remedy
On affected vehicles replace the inflator assembly.
Passenger airbag inflator may rupture
Reported March 20, 2026Model years 2008–2012DVSA recall R/2026/1251 vehicle affected
The inflator may rupture when the airbag deploys, sending metal fragments through the cushion and potentially causing serious or fatal injuries. Moisture can contribute to the fault. The passenger front airbag module will be replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
Component
Passenger airbag inflator
Defect
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality. The concern is caused by moisture in the air getting past faulty seals and being absorbed by the pyrotechnic biscuits in the inflator. As a result it is more likely to occur sooner in areas of high humidity and high temperature difference.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the passenger front air bag module which includes the inflator.
Driver airbag inflator may rupture

Official DVSA recall text
Component
Driver airbag inflator
Defect
On affected vehicles the driverâs airbag inflator housing may rupture due to excessive internal pressure during normal airbag deployment events. An inflator rupture during airbag deployment events could result in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupant(s).
