What are the risk of defective airbags?
During a collision with another vehicle or a structure, a system was imagined that could limit the impact of the shock and keep the occupants of the cars involved: airbags.
Even if when they start, they can cause injuries, it's always better than not getting out of an accident. But now, Takata's airbags have serious failures that could go so far as to lead the death of the occupants of the car to believe the site of the Ministries Planning of the Ecological Transition.
Indeed, the institution highlights that numerous studies have been carried out on these airbags and these highlighted that a warm and humid climate, mixed with an aging vehicle could cause the degradation of certain components of the equipment.
Consequently, if there is shock, the outburst of the airbags could be fatal for the occupants of the vehicle because when the projection of metallic fragments could be triggered could take place “which would cause serious injuries or even a death”Can we read on the government's website.
So do not hesitate and for your safety as well as that of your passengers, make sure that your vehicle is not equipped with airbags of the Takata brand.
