Takata recall: in march 2016, we have received notification letter from acura motor company regarding the recall and the danger of driving our acura vehicle, vin # [xxx], due to takata airbag inflator recalls. Accordingly we contacted the dealership office located 1600 soldiers field rd, brighton, ma 02135 in the same month (end of march 2016), to get the vehicle fixed or to request a replacement vehicle until your organization fix the vehicle and make it safe to drive again. the above mentioned dealership office offered us to take a loaner or rental vehicle free of charge under the condition that we have to keep both vehicle with us until they fix the acura. we explain to the dealership office that since we leave in boston metropolitan area, we don't have extra or additional parking space to keep both vehicles. Therefore, we requested acura motor company to keep the acura until it IS fixed and give us the loaner or rental car. Unfortunately the dealership office declined to do so. since the recall in march 2016, we have parked the vehicle without any use. this IS ; therefore, to file complaint regarding the subject. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

I am seriously concerned about my safety driving my acura. I got a safety recall notice from the manufacturer during the month on february, 2016 with multiple calls being placed the manufacturer has no fixed date in resolving the problem. with the safety recall I wasn't able to sell my vehicle since it IS defective and there was no solution provided by the manufacturer. even after multiple calls acura client relations didn't respond properly and they were not very helpful in resolving my issues. I would kindly request nhtsa to kindly look into the issue and direct acura accordingly.

This IS the vehicle air bag that could rupture with potential life threatening injury to me or my passenger. this IS a leased vehicle owned by acura not me and no parts will be available until end of summer. you can have this car back and put me in a new lease never mind giving me a rental car to drive around in and continue to make my lease payments on a vehicle I am not even driving in seriously.

So as I understand, this recall IS a fix that needs to be done, or in the event of the airbags deploying, there IS a chance of a life threatening injury...being I work for toshiba medical and I sell equipment that could be a danger to patients and I understand the recall. In my case at toshiba, if a recall comes from the fda, we need to shut down the system until the fix IS made. Even if it's less than 1% it gets close up!! seems that you are willing to let the car be driven until the replacement parts are available. this IS unacceptable!! This IS a leased car and the lease IS up in november of this year. You own this car not i. I will be more than happy to return the car as IS and you terminate the lease. legally acura has a large risk knowing the airbags are faulty but have no fix... please let me know your next steps. ... thanks in advance... information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr.. ...Updated 04/12/16 *bf
Defect investigations
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
