NHTSA Probes Side Air Bags Problem

The AP reports, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is "investigating a problem with side air bags that may fail to inflate in a crash." The AP adds that the "problem already has caused recalls of more than 2,700 Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Nissan vehicles, but that number could grow if the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determines that more automakers used similar defective parts." The AP reports that the defective parts are made by Swedish safety parts maker Autoliov Inc. USA Today and Reuters also report this.
