The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent warning regarding dangerous Chinese air bag inflators linked to two recent fatalities. The inflators, made by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co. Ltd. (DTN), have been involved in 10 crashes resulting in 8 deaths and 2 severe injuries. NHTSA is investigating the illegal importation of these inflators and urges consumers to inspect used vehicles for counterfeit parts. Hyundai expressed concern over counterfeit inflators in older Sonata models, while General Motors declined to comment.
