Airbag Company Refuses US Government's Request to Recall 67 Million Inflators
TL;DR Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has demanded that ARC Automotive recall 67 million airbag inflators that can potentially send shrapnel through the cabin in the event of a crash, causing injury or death. However, ARC Automotive is pushing back, arguing that the Safety Act allows vehicle manufacturers, not original equipment manufacturers, to have recall responsibility for any defects found in original equipment installed in their vehicles. Other brands that have recalled cars for ARC inflators include BMW, Ford, and Volkswagen.
