"Massive Air Bag Recall: US Urges 52 Million Inflators to be Replaced"

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has demanded the recall of 52 million air bag inflators produced by ARC Automotive and Delphi Automotive due to the risk of rupture and the release of dangerous metal fragments. The inflators have been used in vehicles from 2000 through early 2018 by 12 automakers, including General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen. The NHTSA has identified seven confirmed inflator ruptures in the United States, resulting in injuries and one death. ARC Automotive had previously rejected the recall demand, but the NHTSA has issued an initial decision and scheduled a public meeting for October 5.

Massive Air Bag Inflator Recall Demanded by U.S.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has demanded the recall of 67 million air bag inflators due to safety concerns, but auto supplier ARC Automotive has rejected the request. The NHTSA believes the inflators pose an unreasonable risk of death or injury, and ARC air bag inflators are used in vehicles made by General Motors, Stellantis, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, and others. GM has agreed to recall nearly 1 million vehicles with ARC air bag inflators after a rupture in March resulted in facial injuries to a driver. Over the last decade, more than 67 million Takata air bag inflators have been recalled in the United States and more than 100 million worldwide.
