by Reuters Apr 29, 2026
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday banned substandard Chinese replacement automobile airbag inflators after 10 fatal crashes, saying they pose a significant risk to American drivers. The U.S. auto safety agency said it was aware of 12 crashes in the United States resulting in deaths or serious injury from ruptured replacement air bag inflators made in China by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co Ltd, also known as DTN, and illegally imported into the U.S., since May 2023.
All of the deaths have taken place in GM or Hyundai vehicles.
