DRIVER'S AIRBAG GAS GENERATOR HOUSING FAILURE DURING DEPLOYMENT
On affected vehicles it has been determined that drivers airbags with potentially faulty gas generator housing material may have been installed in vehicles of model series 156 176 246 205 238 & 253. If the material of the gas generator housing fails during airbag deployment in the event of a crash the airbag system would possibly no longer have a restraint effect. In addition separating parts could enter the passenger compartment. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.
On affected vehicles replace the driver�s airbag
