Owners of vehicles made by at least a dozen automakers - Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai and Kia - are left to wonder anxiously whether their vehicles contain driver or front passenger inflators made by ARC.īecause ARC supplies inflators that are included in other manufacturers’ airbags, there’s no easy way for vehicle owners to determine whether their inflators are made by ARC. The agency said in its recall request letter sent to ARC in April that it’s not aware of any inflators rupturing that were manufactured after the scope was installed. “I think they’re trying to get at what was ARC basing that decision on and does it suggest that there’s a defect in the population of inflators that were produced before that date,” Brooks said. NHTSA also wants to know why ARC added the scope to its manufacturing process in 2018, and it’s demanding to know which ARC employee approved the decision. in the future, and it asks ARC why it changed its inflator manufacturing process in 2018 to install a scope that detects whether welding debris can block inflator vents. The order also instructs the company to estimate how many inflators will rupture while in use in the U.S. More than 1 million ARC inflators have been recalled already due to what the company describes as isolated trouble with manufacturing. In the order, NHTSA asks ARC to explain if it expects inflators to rupture due to something more than “random ‘one-off’” manufacturing problems. Since ARC inflators can be in both driver and passenger front air bags, people who travel in at least 33 million U.S. The next steps are a final conclusion, public hearing and potential lawsuit asking a judge to order a recall. NHTSA has tentatively concluded that the inflators are defective. If you require any assistance please contact our Customer Care team.ARC maintains that no safety defect exists, that NHTSA’s demand is based on a hypothesis rather than technical conclusions and that the agency has no authority to order a parts manufacturer to carry out recalls.
