The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday ordered the recall of 67 million airbag inflators manufactured by ARC Automotive Inc. due to a possible safety problem, APA reports citing Teletrader.

The Tennessee-based company, however, declined the US regulator's request. Given the risk of malfunctioning airbags that may burst upon deployment, General Motors has agreed to recall 994,763 of its sports utility vehicles (SUVs), Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia from the 2014 to 2017 model years.

Ford, Volkswagen, and Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) are among other automakers whose products are subject to the recall.
