Une couture de soudage défectueuse sur le cadre arrière du siège avant peut se casser en cas d’accident. en conséquence, la personne assise dans le siège peut se heurter à la tête sur le pilier b, augmentant ainsi le risque de blessure.
Le gonfleur de l'airbag du conducteur peut provoquer un gonflage incontrôlé et libérer des fragments de métal lorsque l'airbag est activé, ce qui peut causer des blessures aux occupants.
Le propulseur utilisé dans le gonfleur des coussins gonflables des passagers, fabriqué par takata, peut subir une modification matérielle au fil du temps en raison d’une dégradation survenant après une exposition prolongée à une humidité absolue élevée et à des cycles à haute température. en cas de déploiement d’un coussin gonflable, la pression interne excessive peut causer la rupture du corps du gonfleur et des fragments métalliques peuvent passer à travers le matériau du coussin causant des blessures aux occupants.
