Manufacturer Refuses US Request to Recall 67 Million Airbag Inflators
TL;DR Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has called for the recall of 67 million airbag inflators due to a dangerous defect, citing at least nine incidents of airbags rupturing and causing significant injuries or death. The inflators were produced by ARC Automotive, which disputes the need for a broad recall. The Takata airbag recall, which caused at least 18 deaths and left more than 400 drivers with injuries, is already underway. General Motors has announced a recall of nearly 1 million cars in the US due to the airbag inflator defect.
