Takata, a maker of air bags, has determined that a defect exists in some of its air bag
inflators. Takata has agreed to a national recall of certain types of
frontal driver and passenger side air bag inflators used in vehicles
manufactured by BMW, Chrysler, Daimler Trucks, Ford, General Motors,
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota. These inflators were made with a propellant that can degrade over time
and has led to ruptures that have been blamed for six deaths worldwide.
The action expands the number of vehicles to be recalled for defective
Takata inflators to nearly 34 million.
Is your car on the recall list?
Visit the Vehicle Owners Tab on www.safercar.gov (www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Owners/) to find out if your vehicle is on the recall list for the defective air bag inflators.
The NHTSA advises that you check your VIN in the SaferCar.Gov VIN search tool periodically as some recalls are not posted publicly or distributed to vehicle owners until weeks after the recall has been issued.
Be sure to check the official website of the automaker for your vehicle regularly as well.
Peace and blessings.
