NHTSA Concludes Probe on Airbag Failures in ZF-TRW ECU Vehicles
Investigation Closed After Safety Recalls Issued...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) recently concluded an investigation into airbag control units (ACUs) produced by ZF-TRW that were installed in various vehicles, including Dodge, Fiat, Jeep®, and Ram products. The investigation focused on whether these ACUs, which manage the deployment of airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners, had a safety-related defect that could prevent airbags from deploying during severe crashes. The issue stems from a potential failure in the ACU’s electronics, particularly the DS84 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) within the unit.
