The recall of ARC’s inflators is the latest in a series of recalls involving airbag inflators. In recent years, millions of airbags have been recalled worldwide due to defects that can cause the airbags to rupture and injure or kill occupants. The most notorious case is the Takata airbag recall, which has involved more than 100 million airbags and has been linked to at least 20 deaths.
The ARC airbag recall is a reminder that even airbags, which are designed to protect us in the event of a crash, can be dangerous if they are defective. It is important to be aware of the potential risks of airbag defects and to take steps to protect yourself. If you have a vehicle that is equipped with an airbag that has been recalled, you should contact your automaker to have the airbag replaced.
