The biggest automotive recall in history involves the Takata airbag, and there’s no end in sight. While the initial estimates put the affected vehicles around the 2.5 million range, Time recently reported that the affected Takata airbag vehicles could possibly extend to over 85 million. With over 10 deaths linked to Takata airbag vehicles on US soil, and over 100 injured, the cost of this recall is more than just financial.
Takata airbag recalls have been at the forefront of the news lately, where a teenager in Texas died from the explosive shrapnel that has many too scared to drive their own vehicles. The low speed accident took the life of the 17 year old, where her 2002 Honda Civic airbag erupted. Sharpnel exploded into her neck and ruptured her arteries, causing her to bleed to death.
Out of the estimated 24 million Takata airbag vehicles, only 8 million have been repaired with the replacements. The problem stemming from this delay is caused by the lack of production capability and materials.
Are you wondering if your vehicle is one of the many Takata airbag vehicles listed, this comprehensive list can help. If your vehicle does appear on this Takata airbag vehicles listing, you will need to use your VIN number to check for your recall. Your car’s airbag must be addressed at safercar.gov where you can find the dealer nearest you to take care of this issue.
