DETROIT - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has agreed to review a petition claiming the frontal airbag of a 2008 Toyota Corolla failed to deploy during a crash.
The agency said in a statement on its website that it received a petition that "the frontal air bags in their MY 2008 Corolla failed to deploy during a 55-mph frontal impact with a large animal (a deer). During this crash, neither the driver nor front passenger was seriously injured in the incident."
NHTSA is reviewing complaints of air bag nondeployment on 2008 Corollas and peer vehicles as well as other crash data, reported The Detroit News.
Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons said the company is cooperating with NHTSA and has not received its request for information.
NHTSA has also been investigating air bags that failed to deploy in Ford F-150 vehicles.
