- themaninthedark 3y agoThere is another air bag company that may have to recall as well. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/business/air-bag-recall/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/business/air-bag-recall/index...
- astura 3y agoThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a portion of their website with information on the Takata airbag recall and a VIN search. This really is a gigantic problem. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/takata-recall-spotlight https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/takata-recall-spotlight >Approximately 67 million Takata air bags (priority groups 1-12) have been recalled because these air bags can explode when deployed, causing serious injury or even death.
- bloopernova 3y agoThank you for posting that link! I think every car owner in the USA should check.
- ijhuygft776 3y agoMy thought as well.... was Toyota ignoring the problem?
- prima-facie 3y agoIt looks like a lot of other brands are affected. You can check your VIN here for example: https://www.fcai.com.au/is-my-airbag-safe https://www.fcai.com.au/is-my-airbag-safe
- globular-toast 3y agoI had my Honda airbag replaced around 2018 due to this, I think. I found it quite funny to have work done by the dealership on an almost 15 year old car.
- tim333 3y agoGot mine done last year (merc e). The 'do not drive' thing seems a bit excessive. There wasn't any of that from Mercedes. Apparently about 30 Merc drivers died from faulty bags, more due to them just not protecting people in the crash than the hand grenade effect.
