& quot; Bad News! & quot; would say a famous trio of world-famous automotive presenters. Unfortunately for & ograve; c & # 39; & egrave; very little to laugh about. The US Department of Transportation has launched the alarm : there are many defective airbags in the vehicles of 20 different car manufacturers . For this reason, checks are being made on over 30 million vehicles that could report a manufacturing defect precisely to the “ inflatable '' safety device.

The offending airbags would have been produced by & # 39 ; Japanese company Takata that already in 2013 it had requested an inspection on 3.6 million cars, due to some defects in the inflation of the airbag, built by & quot; Tacata Airbags & quot; its subsidiary. The story is & egrave; repeated not long ago since only in 2017 the federal agency ordered & ograve; checks on 42 million cars after a 17-year-old girl died in Texas; for the bursting of a life-saving pillow that ferments her; severely in the neck. Even at that time, it was Takata who had to answer for the safety device malfunction. Now it seems that America is starting all over again.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is part of the United States Department of Transportation, is opening a & # 39; investigation and wants to find out on which vehicles now in circulation, there could be airbags built by the aforementioned Takata. The vehicles in question would have been built between 2001 and 2019 with cars that could belong to Ferrari, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, Porsche, Nissan, BMW, Honda, Tesla and many other automotive manufacturers.

Unfortunately in the United States there have been more & ugrave; of 400 people were injured due to an inadequate explosion of the airbag and over 28 deaths were recorded due to malfunctions of the same, even during an accident that could have been non-fatal.
