Defect: general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain 2007-2008 chevrolet silverado 2500 and 3500 and gmc sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles equipped with non-desiccated, passenger frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous takata recalls. these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Defect: toyota motor engineering & manufacturing (toyota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 4runner, highlander, camry, land cruiser, sequoia, sienna, tacoma and tundra, and lexus rc 300, rc 350, gs 350, gx 460, is 300, lc 500, ls 500, lx 570, rx 350, and 2019 toyota avalon and corolla, and lexus nx 300, es 350, and gs 200t vehicles. the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.

Defect: triumph motorcycles america, ltd (triumph) is recalling certain 2016-2018 thruxton, 2016-2019 thruxton r and 2020 thruxton tfc motorcycles. the side stand spring may fracture, possibly allowing the side stand switch to activate and shut off the engine.

Defect: bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 2000-2005 323it, 325it, 325xit, 320i, 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 330i and 330xi and 2000-2006 323ci, 325ci, 328ci, 330ci, m3 coupe, 323cic, 325cic, 330cic, and m3 convertible vehicles equipped with non-desiccated frontal takata psan inflators and pspi passenger frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous takata recalls. these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Defect: genuine scooters, llc. (genuine scooters) is recalling certain 2020 royal alloy gt150 scooters. the front brake rotor may become uncentered within the front brake caliper allowing the inner brake pad to dislodge from the top of the brake caliper.

Defect: issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. this recall provides a final repair. long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. this could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. if the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag module. the passenger-front airbag module will be replaced as necessary. note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. this recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. it is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
