ABSTRACT:
A passenger-side airbag module assembly consisting of a reaction canister and deployment door is assembled into a motor vehicle's instrument panel. The breakaway deployment door of the airbag module fits flush with the surrounding instrument panel of the vehicle. The reaction canister containing the folded airbag is positioned behind the deployment door and rigidly mounted to the instrument panel sub-structure. The connection between the deployment door and the reaction canister comprises a pair of flexible tethers. Each tether has one edge secured to a different sidewall of the canister. The other edge of each tether engages a portion of the deployment door.
