More specifically, NHTSA initially determined that certain air bag inflators manufactured by ARC Automotive Inc. (ARC) and Delphi Automotive Systems LLC (Delphi) through January 2018 may rupture when the vehicle’s air bag is commanded to deploy, causing metal debris to be forcefully ejected into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and that these rupturing air bag inflators pose an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.

NHTSA previously extended the written submission deadline to December 4, 2023. 88 FR 73069. To provide additional opportunity for any interested person to present information, views, and arguments in response to the Initial Decision, NHTSA is providing an additional 14 days to the period during which interested persons can provide written submissions.
