#Airbags #Recall #Cars

i always unplug the SRS fuses on my cars after the takata incident, those things are too scary and annoying for me, it just makes the little light go on no big deal.
american manufacturing π©
GM, Ford, etc are getting their anuses handed to them by Tesla π
Clickbait title and wrong info because at the 2 minute mark the reporter states "JUST REMEMBER AN OFFICIAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED". Thanks for nothing NBC News.
I knew it was either American or Korean cars
Morons, airbags saved hundreds of thousands of people, but one died so now we have to change everything. Just cause another bankruptcy just like the takata fiasco. Let's hang this back on the board who approve these originally for US market, and worried that the newer products are made right
Can we recall pro gun politicians who have blood in their hands?
well, if GM is doing a recall, you can rest assured there's a problem. They are always very hesitant to do any sort of QA after the fact.
title is flat false. even the reporting confirms it: no recall has been ordered. NHTSA is trying to pressure ARC, but that's it.
Lol π the company don't give a f*ck
What was the purpose of this report? To frighten people?
Shut the country down.
Question How are Air Bags any safer when the car explodes into pieces or half the Car is gone? Get the Point!
Transmission recalls ?
Engine recalls
Because your mom's lips hurt π
I walked away without a scratch from a serious accident 10 years ago that totaled out two vehicles. Neither party was injured at all. I am very thankful of the fact both vehicles had airbags.
I'm only posting this to put the extremely small number of "deaths by airbag" into some perspective when compared to the countless thousands of lives that were saved by them. Just something to think about…
In the USA for year 2021 alone, 549 people died from confirmed accidental gunshot wounds, over 48,000 died from gunshots in total with 26,000 of those by suicide.
As humans we are trying to do way more than what's necessary, this is just a bi-product of growth
The airbag is a invention of the white man to hold us back brothers don't be tempted fly high my brothers π
We know about Takata airbags
My vehicle got the recall notice years back, and a dealer fixed it at no cost to me.
Not an airbag stabbing you. What in the final destination!
So why wasn't this found out during it's QA testing?
7 in 15 years, what a joke this joe biden guy is, everything to destroy the economy is his agenda
βJust remember an official recall has not been issued for these air bag inflaters.β
The video title made me think there was.
HEH! Good luck with that!!!
Holy crap..do we even have that many replacements?
Regulate the millions of illegals immigrants
Is there enough airbag manufacturing available to even do this? Reality must be taken into account.
Them airbags are the worst idea ever. They explode in the face and break a lot of ribs. Really painful and shocking enough to stun you into a further accident.
Thatβs lot them π±π±π±
Are they recalling FOOD??? Choking deaths per year are thousands of times per year compared to Airbag Inflators. Sounds more like someone at the NTSB is trying to INFLATE their job status…
Emilie Ikeda could tell me that the world is ending and I'd just be happy she spoke to me! πππ
Ha joke on them , I don't have any airbags in my car π π π
Yes let's make explosives save people in traffic accidents. The world's dumbest idea
So, when is Tesla's "beta" FSD going to be recalled?…this is ridiculous.
Why don't you recall cigarettes, I heard a few people died from those too?
So just get a bike
This is how many years too late? π€£ Weβve been doomed for an eternity π
ridiculous, if it was 7 per year. or 7 per 100,000 i might agree. 7 in 67 million what are odds 9.7 million to 1. the lottery has better odds
Wanna murder someone without consequences? Become a company.
67 million? Yeah, ok. Good luck with that stupid.
not this again first takata which took years to solve and there are still cars out there needing a fix and now this, have companies learned nothing. Cutting costs in safety leads to dangers
