Takata Recall: Another 12 Million Vehicles Added to the List
Here's yet another chapter in the Takata airbag scandal: no less than 12 million vehicles have been added to the recalled vehicles list.
In case you weren’t aware, many manufacturers were contracting Takata to manufacture their airbags. During the process, Takata used a chemical that degrade over time. In an accident, the airbag could rupture with too much force, which would rip the airbag supports and send heated shrapnel directly to the occupant’s face.
So far, 11 deaths have been linked to this defect.
The 12 million vehicles added to the recall include a lot of manufacturers, like Honda, Fiat, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota and even Ferrari.
The complete list is too long to enumerate here, but you can check it out by going on the NHTSA’s website. Every single model affected by the recall is listed there.
If your car is affected by the recall, the manufacturer will send you a letter detailing the whole repair process.
