What Happened
India's National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission rejected a Rs 5 crore compensation claim against Jaguar Land Rover for alleged airbag failure during a 2013 accident. The complainant's vehicle collided with a stray bull at 90 km/h near Greater Noida. The driver-side airbag did not deploy while the passenger-side airbag activated. The commission ruled the safety system functioned as designed with no manufacturing defect, citing seatbelt status and occupancy parameters.
