Types of Airbag Defects
Over the years, airbags have become increasingly complicated in their design. New developments include:
- Calculating the position of the seat
- Determining whether the seat belt is fastened or not
- Calculating the severity of the collision
For airbags to benefit drivers and passengers in the way they were intended, they must inflate at exactly the proper time. Therefore, common airbag failures include:
- Inflating too early
- Inflating too late
- Not inflating at all
For the safety of you and your passengers, the airbags must be functioning properly in order to provide protection in the event of an accident. A defective airbag may indicate negligence on the part of the automobile manufacturer or a third-party.
