On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. In this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash.
On certain vehicles, a tab on the collar for the planetary gear assembly, an inner part of the automatic transmission, can receive greater force than what it is designed for when the accelerator pedal is operated quickly. This could cause a small piece of metal to be torn from the collar. In the worst case, this small piece of metal may get caught in the parking lock mechanism, causing the parking lock system to be inoperative when the transmission shift lever is placed in the "P" (PARK) position. Correction: Dealers will replace the automatic transmission.
On certain vehicles when the accelerator is operated quickly, a small piece of metal may separate from a retaining collar located in the inner part of the automatic transmission. This small piece of metal may become caught in the parking lock mechanism.
