Reflecting on 50 Years of Airbag Safety: Triumphs and Trials

In the half-century since the inception of the airbag, there’s a compelling narrative of safety to commemorate. Frontal airbags have saved over 50,000 lives in the United States alone, as per data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These airbags have demonstrated a significant reduction in driver deaths by 29 percent in front-end collisions and a 32 percent decrease in fatalities of front-seat passengers aged 13 and older.

Millions of GM Vehicles Recalled

General Motors has recalled 7 million SUVs and pickups worldwide.  The vehicles are equipped with airbags manufactured by Takata – the same company whose airbags have been linked to at least 17 fatalities in the United States.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ordered the new GM recall on November 23, 2020, after rejecting an argument made by GM that the version of the airbag used in the affected vehicles was not unsafe and did not require replacement.
