If the propellant in the airbag inflator has degraded, a rupture in the inflator may occur should the airbag inflate due to a crash. The propellant degradation varies in different climate zones, in different vehicle makes and models and in different airbag inflator and propellant configurations. Testing and analyses conducted by Takata and by independent entities have found that there are wide differences in the time periods in which propellant degradation takes place.
