Understanding the Airbag Safety Defect

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified a manufacturing defect in the knee airbag assemblies of affected vehicles. The issue involves:

• Improper folding during assembly process
• Potential incomplete deployment during collisions
• Increased risk of leg and lower body injuries

This defect could prevent the airbags from providing adequate protection in frontal collisions, potentially leading to more severe injuries than would occur with properly functioning airbags.
