The US government is urging 4.7 million car owners to get the airbag system in their vehicles repaired, as a known defect can possibly kill or injure the driver or front seat passenger.

Safety experts say at least four people have been killed because of a defective airbag part. The inflation valve can rupture, and cause metal fragments to fly out when the airbag is deployed.
