More than a dozen models of vehicle are impacted.
Cheap inflators may deploy too slowly, or partially, meaning occupants of a vehicle may strike the dashboard or steering wheel in a collision.WASHINGTON — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is warning drivers about “cheap, substandard replacement air bag inflators” in used cars that can fail to prevent serious injuries or death in a vehicle wreck.
“If consumers own or are considering the purchase of a used vehicle, NHTSA urges them to learn their vehicle’s history and ensure their vehicle has genuine air bag inflators,” the agency said. Once an airbag has been deployed in a crash, it cannot be used again because of the one-time chemical reaction that makes it inflate. Cars are often refurbished with replacements before they're put back on the road.
