I didn't even know there were motorcycles with airbags. What's next, lawnmowers? Honestly they should really do away with those things or find a less lethal form of deployment.

Wait until they start recalling side, knee and curtain airbags, then the s* is going to really hit the fan.

jz78817

they're not being recalled because airbags are lethal per se, they're being recalled because Takata used a propellant (a different one from the rest of the industry) which, when exposed to moisture over a long period of time, will detonate and blow its canister to shrapnel. Airbag propellants are not supposed to detonate; they're supposed to burn rapidly in a controlled manner.

The propellant used is ammonium nitrate.

I wonder why it's only the drivers side air bag inflators that are being recalled and not the passenger or side????

SteveDwsn

I have wondered that too. Different propellant maybe? To relieve anxiety, you would think Ford and all the other auto manufactures would have mentioned why passenger-side airbags are not involved.

jz78817

the passenger side inflator probably came from a different supplier.

jz78817

Or not, since today they just announced the passenger side inflators are recalled too.
