NHTSA - Ban on Chinese Air Bag Inflators

"FIRST FEDERAL EQUIPMENT BAN IN OVER TWO DECADES

NHTSA is banning defective Chinese air bag inflators that have killed at least 10 people and caused serious injuries to 2 others in a dozen crashes.

An investigation revealed that these inflators explode, sending large metal fragments into drivers' chests, necks, eyes and faces.

Vehicle owners: If you have purchased a used vehicle since 2020, it's urgent that you consult the vehicle history for past air bag deployments."
