They replaced the sodium-azide inflator with ammonium nitrate. The problem: ammonium nitrate likes water. With the moisture infiltrating the mechanism, it can inflate more which breaks up the mechanism and throws shards of metal along with the air bag.
The issue is the worst in areas which are very humid and very hot. So yeah...Houston.
Something like 30 million cars are affected
