Trw recall: Air bags
What is wrong
TRW Automotive Inc. (TRW) is recalling certain air bag electronic control units (ECU). These ECUs may malfunction, possibly disabling the deployment of the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners or causing them to unexpectedly deploy.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
The fix
TRW is working with the affected vehicle manufacturers who are conducting campaigns to replace the ECU's, free of charge.
