Did you know that hundreds of auto recalls happen every year, often without any widespread media coverage? When a recall is announced, it means that car manufacturers are acknowledging a problem with their vehicles. 

Faulty parts and inadequate manufacturing can lead to serious issues, such as stuck accelerator pedals, non-deploying airbags, broken seat belts, and tire blowouts on the highway — posing life-threatening risks to you and your loved ones. 

Automakers have an ethical and legal duty to make sure their vehicles are safe. If a manufacturer fails in this duty and their faulty product causes a collision, you have the right to hold them accountable.

COULD I HAVE A DEFECTIVE CAR CASE?

In the unfortunate event of a collision, your car should be designed to protect you, regardless of who is at fault for a crash. While it’s easy to assume that drivers are solely responsible for crashes, vehicle defects are often the root cause of serious injuries. 

A few examples of when an auto product defect could be in play:

  • Faulty fuel lines turn minor crashes into blazing fires.
  • Defective seat belts cause severe abdominal, spinal or head injuries.
  • Airbags deploy with excessive force or do not deploy at all.
  • A defective seat breaks during an accident, causing serious injuries to the occupant.
  • Vehicle rollovers are caused by faulty suspension design or result in roof crushes because of poor design.
  • Faulty ignition switches cause loss of power steering and brakes and airbags fail to deploy.
  • Recreational vehicles, limousines, passenger vans or other modified vehicles cause serious injury or death due to faulty design and manufacturing.
