Episode Details

U.S. transportation officials are considering a permanent ban on airbag inflators from a Chinese company, DTN, due to ten deaths and two serious injuries in crashes since May 2023. These inflators explode instead of inflating, causing metal shards to injure drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation, finding these inflators banned but still present in American cars. Drivers of affected vehicles, particularly used car owners, are urged to check for DTN inflators and report any findings.
