The recall was issued in order to replace passenger front
airbag inflators as they may deploy with too much pressure. So far the defected
airbags have not injured or killed any drivers or passengers. In one crash, the
casing of the front airbag had ruptured after being deployed. Honda has a
history of recalls with airbags, but with the driver’s side airbags.
Past Recalls Ending
Unfortunately, there have been numerous recalls in the past of
unsafe vehicles. In October, Toyota issued a huge recall because a problem with
the power window created a fire risk. As a result, the company had to recall
7.43 million cars. In addition, the company recalled millions of cars in 2009
and 2010 due to problems with the accelerator pedal. There were various cases
where vehicles would unintentionally accelerate. The scandal led to a large
settlement costing the company over a billion dollars.
Dangerous Product
Attorney
Unfortunately, vehicles are not always 100% safe. There
exist numerous malfunctions and defects that can potentially endanger the
driver and passengers. However, companies are responsible for warning consumers
and the public regarding risks involved with use of their product. When a
company fails to warn consumers, the company is illustrating negligence and
irresponsibility.
If you or someone you know was recently injured due to a
vehicle malfunction or any type of defective product, you should contact a
dangerous products attorney. A dangerous products attorney at the Bond & Taylor law firm will work to earn you monetary compensation for any injuries that
resulted from the defective product. If your injuries required medical
treatment or forced you to take time off from work, you should consider filing
a claim against the negligent manufacturer. Contact our law office today to
