Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. Bedford residents wonder if the airbags in their vehicle will propel shrapnel from driver and front passenger inflators. Defective airbag inflators, made by ARC Automotive Inc. and licensed by another company, "could explode, hurl shrapnel and injure or kill people," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wrote. The NHTSA is urging the Tennessee company to issue a recall for 52 million inflators installed before 2018. ARC installed scopes to monitor welding parts in 2018, the NHTSA notes. Dozens of car brands may be impacted, including Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai and Kia. ARC was acquired by Chinese real estate developer Yinyi Group, in 2016. The company sent letters to the government saying it "can't state for sure whether its inflators might rupture again." (WMUR)
2. The best camping spot in New England is in New Hampshire! The Dry River Camp Ground at Crawford Notch State Park in the White Mountains was named one of the best places to camp in the Top 10 Best Places to Camp in New England by The Dyrt "all things camping" website. The picturesque camp ground is two-hour's north of Bedford. (wokq.com)
3. Friday will be another hot and extremely humid day, with temperatures above 90. A few scattered thunderstorms are possible late in the afternoon. The humidity will continues through the weekend, with a high of 83 on Saturday, and scattered storms possible in the afternoon. Sunday will have a high of 78 and scattered thunderstorms. Monday or Tuesday will bring cooler and more comfortable temperatures. (WMUR)
