Faulty Airbags Still Endanger Drivers | Phoenix News

Another deadly crash involving banned faulty airbag inflators has claimed a life—marking the first fatality since the U.S. banned these dangerous parts. Federal regulators warn the defective components can hurl lethal metal fragments at drivers, causing catastrophic injuries. This tragic incident is the 11th death tied to these substandard inflators from China-based DTN, found in popular vehicles like Chevy Malibus and Hyundai Sonatas. Despite the ban, these hazardous parts remain in circulation, leaving ongoing recalls and investigations as the only defense against further loss of life.
