Chronology :
On April 19, 2024, a VinFast vehicle was brought to a dealer in Vietnam due to the airbag warning light remaining active. The dealer traced the concern to the front passenger side airbag. Further investigation determined the front passenger side airbag was equipped with an inert airbag ignitor. Inert airbags are fitted to pre-production vehicles only to ensure the safety of Engineers during the final development testing. They are not designed to be equipped on production level vehicles. A formal investigation was immediately undertaken. On May 22, 2024, following the conclusion of its investigation, VinFast determined the existence of an unreasonable risk to safety that could exist under a unique crash scenario and authorized a voluntarily safety recall. There have been no vehicle accidents, injuries or deaths involving the implicated vehicle population.
