What was wrong

Defect

Autoliv, Inc. (Autoliv) is recalling certain seatbelt retractors equipped with pretensioners, models R200, R200 Long and R200.1, manufactured April 10, 2016, to October 15, 2016. The Micro Gas Generator (MGG), a subcomponent part used on front, rear, and rear center seat belt retractors with pretensioners, may detach after the seatbelt retractor pretensioner is deployed.

Risk

Although, the seat belt will operate as intended in the event of a crash, if the MGG detaches, it may be a projectile within the vehicle cabin, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Autoliv has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the MGGs and is working with them to determine into which vehicles the affected MGGs were installed into. As this work progresses, vehicle recalls may be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. Owners may contact Autoliv at 1-248-276-0722.
