US considering permanent ban on air bags components produced by Chinese manufacturer DTN
April 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Thursday said it is considering a permanent ban on Chinese replacement automobile air bag inflators produced by DTN after 10 fatal crashes.
The auto safety agency said it was aware of 12 crashes in the U.S. resulting in deaths or serious injury from ruptured replacement air bag inflators made in China by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co Ltd, also known as DTN, and likely illegally imported into the United States, since May 2023. All of the deaths have taken place in GM or Hyundai vehicles.
