Autoliv Recalls Roof Rail Air Bag Inflators Due to Rupture Risk

Autoliv is recalling specific roof rail air bag inflators that may fail at the weld joint, potentially causing gas leaks or ruptures that increase injury risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (air bag inflator rupture) that can cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, posing a significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Autoliv, Inc. is recalling certain roof rail air bag inflators with model numbers ACH4.0 (P7.5-30-325) and ACH4.0 (P3.5-30-312). The recall affects 34,974 units. The defect involves a potential failure at the weld joint, which can cause gas to leak from the inflator or result in an inflator rupture.

An inflator that ruptures may cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, an inflator that leaks gas may only partially inflate during a crash, also increasing the risk of injury.

Vehicle manufacturers will determine the remedy for the affected vehicles. Owners may contact Autoliv customer service at 1-248-276-0722 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
