What Is an Airbag Injury?

An airbag injury refers to any physical harm or trauma caused by the deployment of an airbag system in a vehicle during an accident or collision. Airbags are designed to reduce the severity of injuries during a crash, they can also cause unintended harm. 

Vehicles made by 19 different automakers (34 brands) have been recalled to replace frontal airbags on the driver’s side or passenger’s side. The airbags, made by major parts supplier Takata, were installed in cars mostly from model years 2002 through 2015. A total of 67 million airbags have been recalled, and at the end of 2022, 11 million were still yet to be replaced. [1]
