who is making air bags
Millions of vehicles have been recalled worldwide over faulty airbags made by Takata. Six deaths have been linked to ruptured Takata airbags, five of them in the United States.
Federal legislation makes airbags mandatory. On September 1, 1998, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 finally goes into effect. The law required that all cars and light trucks sold in the United States have air bags on both sides of the front seat.
