Historic Vehicle Recall

Takata has agreed to double the number of vehicles recalled in the United States to almost 34 million due to defective airbags! This makes it the largest recall in NHTSA’s history!

Takata, a Japanese company, is one of the largest suppliers of airbags for car manufacturers. Takata refused to admit for over a decade that its products were defective! They did this in spite of their airbags being linked to 100+ injuries and six deaths. The airbags "blow up like a grenade" when deployed, sending shrapnel pieces into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.


HISTORIC RECALL: Japanese air bag manufacturer Takata Corporation agrees to declare nearly 34 million inflator mechanisms that can “blow up like a grenade” as defective. Find out if your car or truck is part of the largest auto recall in US history.
