 “We regret to inform that due to usage condition, the changes of temperature and longtime humidity, the propellant (ammonium nitrate) in the inflator for passenger side frontal airbag may be deteriorated and, as a result, the inflator body may rupture at the time of airbag deployment,” said Al Habtoor Motors.

“Therefore the frontal airbag inflator for passenger side has to be changed."

As part of the recall safety Campaign, Al Habtoor Motors is contacting customers with affected models to arrange for repairs by contacting crm@habtoormotors.com or calling the service centre on 800 254 228 667.
