2 recalls across 2 model years
The McLaren MP4-12C has 2 recalls covering both the 2012 and 2013 model years, both involving the passenger-side front airbag inflator, where humidity and heat exposure can degrade the propellant and cause the inflator to rupture in a crash, sending metal fragments into the cabin.
The 2012 model year recall covers all vehicles, while the 2013 model year recall applies specifically to vehicles ever registered in high-humidity states and territories including Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, and several others. In both cases, the underlying concern is the same: a deployment that should protect an occupant can instead produce an explosive rupture that poses a serious injury or fatality risk from fragmentation.
