QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Jun 24 2014, 09:24 AM) ....driving in high humidity contributes to the risk of air bag explosions. If true, all Malaysian units gg.com. Are the local units using the same airbags? |

QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Jun 24 2014, 11:25 AM) you mean this Autoliv? Hiratako Holdings is the major shareholder of Autoliv Hiratako in M'sia. The rest is owned by Autoliv.http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/06/02/...N0OJ1OI20140602 Autoliv to pay $65 mln in US antitrust probe Well, at least their airbags won't kill you like Takata's  |

QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Jun 24 2014, 11:37 AM) i hope not but Autoliv is keeping mum about their proprietary airbag inflator design .... http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Busines...te-mass-recall/ quote Takata uses ammonium nitrate in its inflators, Honda has said. That explosive compound is volatile and highly sensitive to moisture. Other airbag makers, including Takata's larger Swedish rival, Autoliv Inc, have kept their inflator designs a proprietary secret.  no idea....we'll know when someone gets killed  |

If memory serves me right, Autoliv Hiratako supplies SRS to local assemblers, that includes locally assembled Hondas and Toyotas (plus a few more conti brands I can't recall). Maybe these car owners need not worry about exploding Takata bags.
On another note, I wonder how the temporary measure of disabling the airbags work? Since it is the explosives that are identified as the source of the problem, not the electronic trigger. Does "disabling" means removing the inflator? This post has been edited by dares: Jun 24 2014, 12:04 PM |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jun 24 2014, 12:26 PM) i believe it means turning the airbag off which means upon collision it would not trigger at all. I know the trigger can be electronically disabled. What I was curious is mentioned in your second paragraph, how do you disable a volatile explosive?(AFAIK under mitsubishi ETACS you can disable it) though, that wouldn't prevent any premature airbag explosions under hot/humid conditions as the thread original concerns/mentioned This post has been edited by dares: Jun 24 2014, 12:31 PM |

According to the Toyota Supplier's club website, Autoliv Hirotako supplies to "PROTON, PERODUA, HONDA, TAN CHONG MOTORS AND OTHERS OEM CUSTOMER"....Is it safe to say all CKD T&H&N are equipped with Autoliv SRSs? What about CBU models?
As for Ford and new Mazdas that are assembled in Thai..... This post has been edited by dares: Jun 24 2014, 04:56 PM |
