Automakers Oppose Air Bag Inflator Recall

Automakers, including GM, Toyota, and Volkswagen, resist U.S. auto safety regulator's demand for a recall of 52 million air bag inflators due to concerns over analysis and potential risks. The issue involves one U.S. fatality and seven injuries linked to the inflators, prompting NHTSA's call for the recall. However, automakers argue that there is no evidence of defects in the inflators, and the consequences of a rupture could be severe and potentially fatal.
