This Banned Chinese Air Bag Inflator Just Killed An 11th Person In The US

  • NHTSA links DTN60DB inflators to 14 crashes, including 11 deaths and three severe injuries.
  • The 11th fatality occurred in a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox in Dallas.
  • NHTSA urges any vehicle with air bag deployment since 2020 to get inspected immediately by a reputable mechanic.
