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.
