Ohio is third US state to tighten laws on airbag counterfeiting
Ohio has joined Connecticut and New York in passing legislation that makes counterfeiting of vehicle airbags a felony. The law (HB 177) prohibits the manufacture, import or sale of a counterfeit or non-functional airbags, or devices that cause the vehicle’s diagnostic system to inaccurately indicate that the vehicle is equipped with a functional air bag, and increases the penalty for improper replacement of a motor vehicle air bag if the violation results in bodily injury or death. Under the new law, persons found to be distributing fake airbags will be charged with a fifth-degree felony on their first offense, moving up to a fourth-degree felony if convicted again or if their actions result in bodily harm. Each installation or sale will be counted as a separate offense.
