8-year investigation leads to recall of 67 million deadly airbags.
TL;DR Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) demanded a recall of an airbag part that could explode during crashes, eight years after the government began investigating the issue, during which two people died and eight were injured. Safety-defect investigations launched by the NHTSA are becoming increasingly lengthy, with many agency probes lasting three and four years, well past NHTSA’s longstanding goal of a year or less.
