Sodium azide, older, highly stable airbag propellant phased out by Takata in the 1990s in favor of the less potentially toxic tetrazole Guanidine nitrate , alternative airbag propellant used in Autoliv and TRW airbags, less sensitive to moisture [ 62 ]
The following vehicles were already listed on the NHTSA website for a Takata air bag recall prior to Nissan's recall on Wednesday: Infiniti. 2003-2008 Infiniti FX. 2001 Infiniti I30. 2002-2004 ...
Despite a long string of recalls that began more than two decades ago, about 6.2 million vehicles with potentially dangerous Takata air bag inflators remain on U.S. roads today. On Wednesday ...
The recall is related to older vehicles that use Takata airbags that can explode and shoop sharp metal fragments. 'Do Not Drive': Toyota Recalls Thousands of Vehicles Over Deadly Airbag Fears Skip ...
Sodium azide is a versatile precursor to other inorganic azide compounds, e.g., lead azide and silver azide, which are used in detonators as primary explosives. These azides are significantly more sensitive to premature detonation than sodium azide and thus have limited applications. Lead and silver azide can be made via double displacement ...
Older airbag systems contained a mixture of sodium azide (NaN 3), KNO 3, and SiO 2. A typical driver-side airbag contains approximately 50–80 g of NaN 3, with the larger passenger-side airbag containing about 250 g. Within about 40 milliseconds of impact, all these components react in three separate reactions that produce nitrogen gas.
The agency is prepping a recall that would include airbags in vehicles from a dozen automakers and could become the industry’s second-largest since Takata. NHTSA May Force Recall of 52 Million ...
