On April 11th, 2021, The Ford Airbag recalled in the United States was made available to the public. It is believed that the Ford Airbag contains a defect that causes an occupant to be thrown out of the vehicle during a rollover. This defect is also known as the side curtain airbag. An occupant is not thrown out of the car but the Ford Airbag will hit the rear windshield during the rollover and causes the victim to suffer a severe head injury.
The manufacturer is responsible for this defect because it has designed the Ford Airbag in such a way as to allow it to deploy even if the airbag itself should fail. This recall is the second largest manufacturer of airbags in the country and comes just ahead of the Toyota recall made just a few months ago. The Ford Airbag recall was caused by the plaintiffs filing suit against Ford claiming that the airbag was dangerous and caused them a number of physical and mental anguish. It was determined that the design of the Ford Airbag resulted in the deployment of the restraint liners which prevented the victims from being thrown out of the car. While the Ford Airbag did cause the injuries, it did not cause the victims to be thrown out of the car and injured or killed.
The plaintiffs, who filed the suit are asking for monetary damages and are also asking for a public awareness of the dangers of the Ford Airbag. It is believed that this could open the door to a number of wrongful death suits against other manufacturers who failed to make airbags mandatory on their vehicles. The Ford Airbag recall is not the only problem with the Ford Motor Company. Over the past several years, many other companies have released faulty products that have killed or injured people. These lawsuits could bring awareness to thousands of families who bought cars without the proper safety features.
Another potential problem for the Ford Motor Company involved in the manufacturing of vehicles with defective or dangerous parts. This could include the production of engines with excessive wear or that are faulty and can lead to a defective exhaust. It is also possible that the engines could have excessive wear and allow the airbag to be deployed resulting in a fatal injury. One lawsuit against Ford involved a wife who died when her husband’s truck rolled over during a move. The truck manufacturer knew the engine was defective and did not install any performance enhancing parts.
The safety systems in vehicles today have improved greatly. Airbags are designed to automatically deploy when a collision occurs. The Ford Airbag does not work in all vehicles, as there are different sizes and strength ratings for airbags. In addition, seatbelts must be properly installed in vehicles to prevent injuries from occurring. Ford has recalled numerous vehicles to update the safety systems in them. In addition, other vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors have recalled hundreds of vehicles for seatbelts and other safety systems not installing properly.
The manufacturers have not been able to point to any injuries resulting from these recalled vehicles. When you are involved in a Ford Airbag recall lawsuit, you should know that the only people who may be at risk of dying because of the recalled airbags are the vehicle occupants. Seatbelts prevent injuries by keeping the vehicle occupant’s body from sliding forward into the cargo area of the vehicle. If the seatbelts are not properly installed, the vehicle occupants will be at risk of being injured from sides moving into them and being crushed by the cargo area.
