Wire harness design is crucial for product safety as it ensures reliable electrical connections, reducing the risk of faults that could lead to malfunctions or safety hazards. At Cableteque , we focus on early error detection in wire harness design to prevent issues like those seen in the Volkswagen recall, ensuring high-quality, compliant designs and eliminating wiring errors.

#Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) is recalling 1 million vehicles in the United States over potentially faulty airbag sensors which could see the front passenger airbag fail to deploy during a crash. The company said that the vehicles, which include certain 2020 to 2022 Toyota and Lexus models, have Occupant Classification Systems (OCS) in the front passenger seat that may have been improperly manufactured causing a short circuit. This would not allow the airbag system to properly calculate the occupant’s weight and means the airbag may not deploy in certain crashes.   All vehicles impacted by the recall will have their OCS sensors inspected by Toyota and Lexus dealers and if required, replace the sensors at no cost to the vehicle owner. Impacted customers will be notified by the end of February 2024, Toyota said.  More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors #NYSE #TM http://ow.ly/oMnJ1056uYE

Nowadays, the safety of cars has become a primary focus for both car manufacturers (OEMs) and customers in India. With the increasing awareness of road safety and the rising number of accidents, consumers are prioritizing vehicles that offer advanced safety features. As a result, OEMs are investing heavily in research and development to enhance the safety standards of their vehicles. Government regulations have also played a crucial role in this shift, with stricter safety norms and mandatory crash tests pushing manufacturers to improve the safety features of their cars. Features such as airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are becoming more common, even in budget-friendly models. Moreover, the proliferation of information through social media and other platforms has made customers more knowledgeable and demanding regarding safety. They are now looking for vehicles that not only offer robust safety features but also score high in global safety ratings like the Global NCAP #Safetyawareness #Safety #IndianOEMs
