During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the disposal of a live (undeployed) inflator module. This
bulletin covers the proper procedures for disposal of a live (undeployed) inflator module.
Before a live (undeployed) inflator module can be disposed of, it must be deployed Live (undeployed) inflator modules must not be disposed of through
normal refuse channels.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow proper Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) inflator module disposal procedures can result in air bag deployment which may cause
personal injury. Undeployed inflator modules must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels. The undeployed inflator module contains
substances that can cause severe illness or personal injury if the sealed container is damaged during disposal. Disposal in any manner inconsistent with
proper procedures may be a violation of federal, state, and/or local laws.
If a vehicle is the subject of a Product Liability Report related to the SIR system and is subject to a Preliminary Investigation (GM-1241), DO NOT
DEPLOY the inflator module and DO NOT ALTER the SIR system in any manner. Please see bulletin 92-9-3 for handling. If a vehicle is the subject of
a campaign affecting inflator modules, DO NOT DEPLOY the inflator module. Follow instructions in the campaign bulletin for proper disposition of the
inflator module.
If an inflator module is replaced under warranty in the vehicles listed above, DO NOT DEPLOY the air bag. The inflator module should be returned
undeployed to Inland Fisher Guide per Bulletin 92-9-3. Always refer to Bulletin 92-9-3 when it is necessary to ship a live (undeployed) inflator module.
In situations which require deployment of a live (undeployed) inflator module, deployment may be accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The
method employed depends upon final disposition of the particular vehicle.
