Counterfeit airbags could cause injury and may not work

This week warnings have been issued after it was discovered that counterfeit airbags were being imported from China and had been used to repair some vehicles in the United States. The NHTSA conducted an investigation and found that many of these counterfeit airbags didn't function and some of them had serious issues that can cause injury if activated.

During testing some of the counterfeit Chinese airbags through shrapnel towards the driver or cost flames when activated. Airbags were imported to the US that went into a number of popular automobiles and the airbags even carried counterfeit automotive brands making them hard to identify.
