The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that airbags have saved more than 50,000 lives from 1987 to 2017. Modern vehicles have advanced airbags and are usually in more places than just the steering wheel and dash. This can include in the seats, and around the doorframes (side airbags).
Over the last few years in the United States, we have seen the largest automotive-related recalls in history due to faulty airbags. Tens of millions of vehicles with Takata airbags are under recall. These are bags, when exposed to high heat and humidity, can become explosive when deployed. These explosions have caused many injuries and deaths. Around 41.6 million vehicles equipped with Takata airbags have been recalled so far.
The NHTSA also warns that there are certain vehicle makes and models that may have counterfeit airbags that do not work properly and can cause serious harm to drivers and passengers.
