US government seeks recall of 52 million defective air bag inflators over rupture risk

Federal regulators determined ARC Automotive air bag inflators are defective and prone to dangerous ruptures.
At least 12 automakers used the faulty inflators in vehicles from 2000-2018.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration scheduled a hearing and may force a court-ordered recall.
ARC disputes the recall, but 7 injuries and 1 death have been linked to the inflators.
A full list of affected models has not been released, but millions of vehicles likely contain the inflators.
