Company Issues Official Statement, Confirming Airbag Presence and Functionality in The Disputed Vehicle Involved in Fatal 2022 Accident

Mumbai (India CSR): Leading automobile manufacturer, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), responds to allegations concerning the non-deployment of airbags in one of its Scorpio S9 variants, a scenario stemming from a fatal accident in January 2022. The company affirms the presence and operational status of the airbags, addressing claims with an elaborative overview of the investigation findings, and expresses condolences to the deceased’s family.

Clearing The Air: Mahindra’s Statement

M&M, responding to an FIR lodged against the company, has clarified its stance on the alleged malfunctioning of airbags in its Scorpio S9 variant. The company emphasized that the case is over 18 months old and asserted that it had conducted meticulous investigations to establish the functionality and presence of airbags in the disputed vehicle.

Technical Investigation Findings

Upon concluding a detailed technical investigation in October 2022, M&M has stated unequivocally that there was no malfunction of the airbags and that the model in question was indeed equipped with them. The accident was identified as a rollover case, a situation where frontal airbags would not deploy. The investigation results thus contradict the allegations made against the company, highlighting that airbag deployment was not warranted under the given circumstances.

Legal Proceedings and Company Cooperation

The matter, currently sub judice, sees M&M in full cooperation with the judicial authorities, prepared to undergo any further required examinations. The company upholds its commitment to adhere to all the legal proceedings and norms, ensuring a transparent and comprehensive approach in resolving the concerns raised in the FIR.

Condolences and Victim’s Perspective

M&M has expressed its deepest condolences to the family of Apoorv Mishra, the victim of the fatal accident. The FIR against the company was initiated by Rajesh Mishra, Apoorv’s father, who has accused the company of not integrating airbags in the Scorpio S9 variant his son was driving, leading to his tragic demise.

Implications and Regulatory Developments

This clarification arises amidst deliberations by the Indian government on mandating airbags in all new cars sold within the nation. It reflects the heightened awareness and importance given to vehicle safety features and the evolving standards in the Indian automobile industry.
