The defect
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
The hazard
In the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Hino dealership directly via https://www.hino.com.au/dealer/ to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.Consumers who are unsure whether they are affected can also contact Hino on 1300 014 466.We also recommend you visit https://www.productsafety.gov.au/newsletter/subscribe to subscribe to receive updates about current and future recalls as they are published.Further information for consumers is available at: https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/compulsory-takata-airbag-recall
