Major Automakers Challenge NHTSA's Call For Massive Air Bag Inflators Recall: Report
Major Automakers Challenge NHTSA's Call For Massive Air Bag Inflators Recall: Report
Major automakers, including General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM), and Volkswagen AG (OTC:VWAGY), along with two air bag manufacturers, have reportedly expressed opposition to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) recommendation to recall 52 million air bag inflators.
據報道，包括通用汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：GM）、豐田汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：TM）和大衆汽車公司（場外交易代碼：VWAGY）在內的主要汽車製造商以及兩家安全氣囊製造商都對美國國家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）召回5200萬臺安全氣囊充氣機的建議表示反對。
The NHTSA's suggestion for a recall arises from concerns that air bag inflators produced by ARC Automotive and Delphi Automotive might rupture, causing metal fragments to disperse.
NHTSA之所以提出召回建議，是因爲擔心ARC Automotive和德爾福汽車公司生產的安全氣囊充氣機可能會破裂，導致金屬碎片分散。
This issue is linked to one fatality and seven injuries in the U.S., following an extensive eight-year government investigation. If enforced, this recall would mark the second-largest in U.S. automotive history, reported Reuters.
經過長達八年的廣泛政府調查，該問題與美國發生的一起死亡和七人受傷有關。路透社報道，如果強制執行，此次召回將標誌着美國汽車史上的第二大召回。
Automakers and manufacturers are contesting the NHTSA's proposal, arguing that the risks posed by these inflators are minimal, the report noted. ARC, in particular, reportedly highlighted the improbability of new ruptures, estimating less than one occurrence in the next 33 years, according to NHTSA's estimated failure rate.
報告指出，汽車製造商和製造商正在對NHTSA的提議提出異議，認爲這些充氣機構成的風險微乎其微。據報道，ARC特別強調了新破裂的可能性，根據NHTSA的估計失敗率，估計在未來33年內發生新破裂的次數將不到一次。
According to the report, the contentious inflators have been used in vehicles manufactured from 2000 to early 2018 by 12 different automakers, including Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), Mercedes-Benz Group (OTC:MBGYY), BMW (OTC:BMWYY), Hyundai Motor Company (OTC:HYMTF), and Kia Corporation.
根據該報告，有爭議的充氣機已用於12家不同的汽車製造商在2000年至2018年初製造的汽車中，其中包括福特汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：F）、梅賽德斯-奔馳集團（場外交易代碼：MBGYY）、寶馬（場外交易代碼：BMWYY）、現代汽車公司（場外交易代碼：HYMTF）和起亞公司。
NHTSA's call for a voluntary recall in May was initially rejected by ARC. General Motors, which had already recalled 1 million ARC inflators following a rupture incident in March, said NHTSA's decision lacked sufficient evidence, as per the report.
NHTSA在5月份提出的自願召回呼籲最初被ARC拒絕。報告稱，通用汽車在三月份發生破裂事件後已經召回了100萬臺ARC充氣機。通用汽車表示，NHTSA的決定缺乏足夠的證據。
Both GM and Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) reportedly described NHTSA's actions as "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law."
據報道，通用汽車和Stellantis N.V.（紐約證券交易所代碼：STLA）都將NHTSA的行爲描述爲 “任意、反覆無常且違法”。
Price Action: GM shares are trading lower by 0.36% at $35.74 in premarket on the last check Wednesday.
價格走勢：週三最後一次盤前交易中，通用汽車股價下跌0.36％，至35.74美元。
