NHTSA Moves to Ban Dangerous Airbags Linked to Fatalities
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced its initial decision to ban airbags produced by Jilin Province Detiannuo Safety Technology Co., Ltd. (DTN) due to their involvement in 10 fatalities and two serious injuries. These airbags, used as replacements in vehicles like Chevy Malibus and Hyundai Sonatas, were found to explode instead of inflating properly, sending metal shrapnel into the cabin. The airbags were likely imported illegally from China. NHTSA's decision follows an investigation into these incidents, which occurred over three years across multiple states.
