FAQ

    Injuries Caused by Defective Airbag Deployment Technology

    Defective presence sensors and crash detection systems can contribute to problems with airbag deployment and increase the risk of injury. Presence sensors detect the weight of a person in a particular seat and are an essential part of the airbag deployment system. If the presence sensors are not working correctly, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to or deploy when no one is in the seat.

    Crash detection systems assess the severity of a crash and determine whether the airbags should be deployed. If the crash detection system is not working properly, the airbags might not deploy when needed or might deploy when the crash is not severe enough to warrant deployment.

    Defective presence sensors and crash detection systems can lead to serious problems with airbag deployment and increase the risk of injury to the vehicle’s occupants.

    Injuries Caused by Improper Product Recalls

    If an airbag manufacturer does not issue a recall of a defective airbag quickly, it can have serious consequences, including:

    • Increased risk of injury or death: If a recall is not issued quickly, people may continue to use the defective airbags and be at risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.
    • Delay in fixing the problem: Late recalls make it harder to fix the problem and quickly get the defective airbags out of circulation. This means that the risk of injury or death may continue for a more extended period.
    • Legal consequences: If a manufacturer does not issue a recall of a defective airbag quickly, it may be held legally responsible, resulting in fines or lawsuits.

    Airbag manufacturers must issue recalls as soon as possible to minimize the risk of injury or death and ensure the problem is remedied efficiently.

    Unfortunately, many airbag manufacturers do not issue prompt recalls when they realize their product is defective. They often do this to cut costs and save profits. Recalls can be expensive, and manufacturers may be hesitant to incur the costs associated with a recall, especially if they believe the problem is not widespread. They may also try to avoid a recall to steer clear of the potential legal consequences of issuing a recall. In some cases, manufacturers wait to issue a recall until they have had time to assess the legal risks.
