The density of the propellant in the inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this case, the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of airbag deployment, allowing the inner pressure of inflator to increase abnormally, resulting in breakage of the inflator case. The passenger airbag will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact and the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the passenger.
