NHTSA is banning defective Chinese air bag inflators that have killed at least 10 people and caused serious injuries to 2 others in a dozen crashes.
An investigation revealed that these inflators explode, sending large metal fragments into drivers' chests, necks, eyes and faces.
Vehicle owners: If you have purchased a used vehicle since 2020, it's urgent that you consult the vehicle history for past air bag deployments.

Morning satellite loop of the very strong Nor'Easter producing powerful winds and very heavy snow across the Northeast. Blizzard conditions and crippling impacts will continue through much of today for the region. ๐ฐ๏ธโ๏ธ
[Potentially Historic/Destructive Storm southeast of the BOS-PVD corridor] We are very concerned for areas southeast of the Boston-Providence corridor where wet snow combines with northeast wind gusts of 60-70 mph. Power outages & tree damage. Worst conditions Mon 4 am to noon.
We are simply stating that this particular law will not be our top priority until this is all sorted out in the courts or with NH law makers.
Respectfully,
Chief Kelley
*** Legal Update ***
We are already being inundated with clarification with the on going controversy, surrounding vehicle inspection requirements. Originally, the State passed a new law and vehicle inspection stickers were no longer required as of February 1st, 2026.
In fact, we fully encourage motorist to have their vehicles checked routinely by qualified mechanics for obvious safety reasons. Additionally, HPD cannot speak for how other PD's are going to choose to handle inspection sticker requirements, under the current legal debacle.
