General Motors has issued a recall of over 12,600 Cadillacs because of airbag failures. It is believed that the airbag-sensing systems on the passenger side of the car do not function properly. The problem is so serious that a front-passenger airbag might be deployed when it is not needed and might not be deployed when it is needed. The specific model that has been recalled is the Cadillac MY2009 CTS. Airbag failures to operate can be injurious, harmful, or fatal. If you or someone you know has been a victim of an airbag failure, contact the personal injury attorneys of Habush, Habush, & Rottier by calling 1-800-242-7205 or by going to their website.

Since 2003, automakers have been forced to provide safety information on their products to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This information has recently been released to the public. The information is meant to identify safety issues as early as possible. It includes history of death, injury and property damage claims. There is also production data for cars and light trucks. This information has been made available at www.safecar.gov. This information can be an important part of preventing dangerous accidents.

BMW has recently announced that it will recall 150,000 vehicles due to a potential airbag defect. According to BMW sources, the defect may prevent the front passenger airbag to operate during a collision. Specifically, the problem has been found in the front passenger airbag seat sensor mat that was installed in a variety of BMW's 2004 through 2006 models in the U.S. and Canadian markets. A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that the airbags might not deploy "even if a sufficiently severe accident would occur." The BMW vehicles involved in the recall include the 2006 3-Series, the 2004-2006 5-Series, and the 2004-2006 X3 Series. BMW reports that it will be sending out letters to its customers beginning in September.

Nissan Moto Co. has announced that they are recalling 16,000 Muranos and Infiniti EX-35 sport utility vehicles due to incorrectly programmed software that could lead the air bags not to deploy in a crash. If the air bags were not to deploy, the risk of injuries in a crash would go up significantly.  Nissan sold 76,358 Muranos last year. The Infiniti EX was introduced in December of 2007 to compete with BMW's X3 and Honda's Acura RDX. They sold a total of 305 models in 2007. The recall covers 2008 EX-35 models as well as some of the 2009 Muranos. If you or someone you know has been injured due to a defective air bag, contact the Milwaukee personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush and Rottier, S.C. at 1-800-242-7205 to discuss your case and to schedule an initial consultation.
