Defective Vehicle Recalls

When a major car maker produces a defective automobile, the public tends to notice. Some SUVs with design defects have resulted in deadly rollover accidents. Recently, Toyota issued recalls of millions of cars after some of its popular models were linked to acceleration and braking problems. In some cases, the parts manufacturer may have introduced a defective product. We have seen cases of tread separation in tires, leading to lawsuits against the tire maker.

Other types of vehicles can cause injury because of defects, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), trucks and motorcycles.

Defective vehicle cases may involve:

  • Malfunctioning seat belts
  • Malfunctioning airbags
  • Exploding gas tanks
  • Brake defects
  • Acceleration defects
  • Automobile recalls
  • Rollover or roof-crush accidents
  • Ejection of passengers or driver
  • Defective doors or door latches
