I love the word "temporarily" in the description. It only fails during the accident but then may work later. Isn't that the same as failing period?
Based on this statement (after "a significant underbody impact,") it sounds like a very specific scenario. Not sure all the specifics of crash testing but if they only test side impacts by running an object into it, they could conceivably miss the dynamics of running off the road and hitting a ditch, etc.
I have no knowledge of crash testing and certification so I am just guessing based on the press release.
I understand it's a rare situation (under body hit) but it's funny to call it "temporarily disabled". If it's disabled when needed, temporarily is irrelevant.
