WorldAn Australian has died following an airbag malfunction in a “relatively minor collision.”Huy Neng Ngo, 58, was killed by a flying piece of shrapnel launched at his neck from a faulty airbag. The crash occurred on July 13, 2017, and was discussed at the New South Wales’ Coroner’s Court on Friday, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.It was revealed in court that the faulty airbag, made by now-bankrupt company Takata, was scheduled for replacement just two days before the crash (July 11). The booking was pushed back to October. Ngo and his wife were both in the car at the time of the crash. Neither’s English is that strong and now the family are questioning why the airbag risk wasn’t made more clear to them. A technician holds a recalled Takata airbag inflator in Miami, Florida.
