Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 unintentional airbag deployment recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (33%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all unintentional airbag deployment recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
Honda and Acura are recalling 750,114 vehicles from 2020-2022 model years. A defective front passenger seat weight sensor may fail to suppress the airbag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Toyota is recalling 2004-2006 Scion xA vehicles because the air bag control module may short, causing air bags to deploy unintentionally or fail to work.
Volkswagen is recalling 2018 Atlas vehicles because a twisted air conditioning drain tube may allow water to enter the air bag control module, potentially causing unintentional air bag deployment.
