WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday said a ninth motorist has been killed by a dangerous Chinese replacement air bag inflator.
The auto safety agency said it was aware of 11 crashes in the U.S. resulting in death or serious injury from ruptured replacement air bag inflators made in China by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co Ltd, also known as DTN, and likely illegally imported into the United States.
