Meanings of disable airbags in English

Stouffer's investigation discovered that the problem was in the ignition switch that could suddenly move into the "accessory" position and disable airbags.

GM earlier this year recalled 2.6 million vehicles because of the risk the switches could unexpectedly turn off engines during operation and disable airbags.

These faulty switches can cause engines to stall during operation, which also disables airbags, power steering and power brakes.

In the ensuing years, the agency examined several fatal Cobalt crashes, each involving switches that slipped out of position and disabled airbags.
